An Oklahoma County judge has denied a request for a temporary restraining order that would cancel Edmond Public Schools’ COVID-19 rules regarding quarantining unvaccinated students.A group of parents filed a lawsuit this week against Edmond Superintendent Angela Grunewald and school board members, claiming the district is violating their children's constitutional rights. The parents claim their children were excluded from school and activities because of quarantine protocols set by the district. Edmond Public Schools requires any unvaccinated person exposed to COVID-19 to quarantine for a period of seven to 10 days.Edmond Public Schools released a statement that reads, in part, that they learned of the lawsuit earlier this week, but they informed the parents they would not change quarantine procedures based on the threat of possible legal action. District leaders said their COVID-19 procedures were developed to keep students and staff safe.Edmond Public Schools officials released the following statement in response to Friday's ruling:"Today’s court ruling honored the very heart of Edmond Schools' desire to follow COVID-19 related protocols given to us by public health experts to keep students and staff safe. We thank our students, parents, and staff for working with us as we navigate the frequent COVID-19-related issues and challenges before us. As we have stated frequently, our goal is to keep students in school and safe."
