Operative words

As a result of the Governor's Executive Order No. 84, Plaintiffs and their putative class are unable to enjoy educational services, programs, and activities without placing their lives at risk due to their disability. The Williamson County and Franklin school systems are being suppressed by Executive Order No. 84 from giving Plaintiffs the effective accommodation of a temporary universal mask mandate for all students and teachers. At this juncture, Executive Order No. 84 appears to violate federal law and must yield.... 1. Defendant Governor Lee is ENJOINED from enforcing Executive Order No. 84 in Williamson County or allowing parents to opt out of either the Williamson County Board of Education or Franklin Special School System's mask mandates on a purely voluntary basis
