The district is correct; the board is elected so Art. II (separation of powers and the whole issue of robinson v dhss, the case the AG claimed outlawed all mask mandates) is not relevant to school districts. But that is not even mentioned in the lawsuit against the school district. The claims by the AG are A) the district made procedural errors in enacting the mask mandate (count one), B) the school district doesn’t have the authority to enact health policy because the state legislature gives that authority to the local health department (count two), C) the mask mandate is unlawful because it is unreasonable (count three), and the mask mandate denies the right to a free public education (count four). But don’t take it from me, read the petition yourself: https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-releases/school-lawsuit-petition/francis-howell-petition.pdf. My thoughts? Count one is factually incorrect (as far as I can tell), count two is the real question, count three will only succeed with a judicially-active judge (and, while it may seem antithetical to the politically-conservative view of mask mandates, conservative judges tend to be more judicially-restrained than active), and count four is based on a very thin argument.
