DHEC embraces the possibility of school mask mandate in schools

The state health authority, DHEC, says after a careful legal analysis, it takes the position that in certain local situations and where rapid action is needed, it can issue an order mandating masks in the schools.  But it added the following concluding statement:  “The situation in each school district is different, and issuing a statewide order that applies equally to every school, that would be enforceable with the current proviso in place and that would withstand legal challenge is not currently feasible”.
