Operative words

Public and private school buildings and grounds are open for in-person student instruction for grades kindergarten through second (K-2) only. Even if open for in-person instruction, public and private schools must provide a virtual option for students in grades K-2.... This Order also continues the face covering requirements and limitations on taverns and mass gatherings for the reasons explained in Order 8.... This Order shall become effective Monday, August 24, 2020 at 12:01 a.m. This Order shall remain in effect until further notice.

Enforcement

Notes

The Wisconsin Supreme Court's injunction of September 10, 2020 reached only the school-closure provisions; the gathering, tavern and face-covering provisions continued in force through the successor orders.
