Operative words
The Court ultimately granted Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction and ordered the Knox County Board of Education to enforce--with immediate effect--the mask mandate that was in place in all Knox County Schools during the 2020-2021 school year, as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA for Plaintiffs and Class Plaintiffs. [Mem. Op. & Order, Doc. 35, at 55].... The Knox County Board of Education's Amended and Restated Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment [Doc. 40] is GRANTED only to the extent that it requests leave to operate [its exemption process under Policy C-240].
