BLOOMSBURG, Pa.—A year after attending a Pennsylvania school board meeting about requiring students to wear COVID-19 masks, three people are still in court trying to get the charges dropped for alleged criminal defiant trespass. The charge is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and $10,000 in fines.

Their cases could have statewide legal implications, potentially giving school boards more power over the public.
