Legal Fund: End Fulton County Schools Mask Mandate
Donation protected
Thank you to all our donors and families who have been standing up to fight the overreach of Fulton County School Board and Superintendent Dr. Looney. Our lawsuit has been sitting in appeals for months, and we have finally heard from the court.
Due to Governor Kemp and our General Assembly’s push to pass SB 514, “Unmask Georgia Students Act”, our lawsuit has been deemed ‘moot’. SB 514 gives Georgia families what we were looking for, the right to opt out of facemask mandates:
“No local board of education shall make or enforce any rule pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code section that requires students to wear face masks or face coverings while present in any area of a school or school grounds or other property owned or operated by the local school system unless such a rule provides that a parent or guardian of a child enrolled in such local school system my elect for his or her child to be exempt from such rule. A parent or guardian makes such election shall not be required to provide a reason or any certification of the child’s health or education status. No student shall suffer any adverse disciplinary or academic consequences as a result of such election by a parent or guardian.” (SB 514 - this act is repealed in its entirety June 30, 2027)
To be clear, this means the lawsuit is OVER and we now have the right to opt out of masks should the county attempt another mandate.
I recommend you read the law in its entirety! https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/62084
I think it’s also time we get school board members elected that represent our values. I do not work for any campaign but I have done some research and I support the following candidates and hope you will do the same! (I have not researched all districts so lack of mention in different district does not indicate lack of support)
