A Central Illinois school district is moving forward with a lawsuit against the Illinois State Board of Education. The El Paso-Gridley District 11 school board voted to move forward with litigation against the agency and the state superintendent of schools over the state’s COVID-19 mandates. District 11 Superintendent Brain Kurz said the lawsuit looks to define how much power the state has when it comes to forcing school districts to comply with mandates or risk losing funding and recognition status.
