The parents of a medically fragile 6-year-old child are suing the Cumberland Valley School District in Pennsylvania to change its masking policy from masks optional back to mandatory masking for all.

By permitting optional masking, the school board forces the parents of medically fragile children with disabilities into an unfair decision of keeping the child home and safe, or sending them to school and risk being exposed to COVID-19, says the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
