Many school Superintendents in Kentucky have announced they are making mask optional for children, going directly against recommendations of king Andy and department of education commissioner Jason glass. The rumor has it that a mask mandate will soon be coming out of Frankfort…
With that said, here are the facts:
Governor Beshear can do this until we get the ruling from the Supreme Court . The bill allows him executive order privileges for 30 days, on any order, but the order can’t go past 30 days unless it is approved by the General Assembly. He would have to call a special session at a cost of $60,000 plus per day. He knows that at the cost, since there is a super majority, they would vote to end the majority of his orders. Up to this point he has been making recommendations because there is an injunction per Boone County ruling saying he can’t issue mandates any more.
In addition, 4 of the Supreme Court positions are up for re-election.
You decide the rest of the story….
