The Pennsylvania Supreme Court struck down a K-12 school mask mandate imposed by Gov. Tom Wolf ’s (D) administration. The court did not release an opinion for the decision reached on Friday, but said one would come soon, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. The state Supreme Court decision upholds an earlier ruling from the Commonwealth Court in November that ruled against a mandate that required students to wear masks indoors amid the pandemic. The lower court ruled at the time that Alison Beam, the acting state health secretary, did not have the authority to impose a mask mandate, acted without an existing disaster emergency enacted by the governor and did not follow state laws to enact regulations, according to WGAL.
