A woman is suing a Wisconsin school district, saying her son contracted COVID-19 after his school removed its coronavirus mitigation measures.
Shannon Jensen filed the lawsuit against Waukesha School District and school board on October 5, seeking an injunction to force the district to comply with COVID-19 guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the lawsuit, seen by Insider and first reported on by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Waukesha School District removed its student mask mandate and other measures put in place to stop the spread of COVID-19 in May.
Jensen's son still wore a mask to school, but got COVID-19 after sitting next to another student in September, the lawsuit said.
In a statement provided in the lawsuit, Jensen said she got delayed information about her son's classmate testing positive, and that after her own son tested positive for COVID-19, her two younger sons did, too.
She said she and her husband were forced to be "primary instructors" for their children while they were out of school, and said the district had no plan in place to handle missing assignments.
"The School District of Waukesha's refusal to implement reasonable Covid-19 mitigation strategies, not only affected our immediate family, but if we had been notified sooner of my oldest son's close contact with someone who was diagnosed with Covid-19, we could have prevented possible further community spread of the virus," Jensen said.

Her child probably took it off when he was in class anyway.
“if we had been notified sooner of my oldest son’s close contact with someone who was diagnosed with Covid-19, we could have prevented possible further community spread of the virus,” Jensen said.”
By doing what? Chaining him to a bed in the basemen next to Epstein?
He wore the impregnable covid-19 super mask!! How in the world could it have gotten him!! Didn’t Ms. Jensen take the noble step of making her child wear 3 masks?? Shame on her!
Oh the huge manatee!!
I agree with your assessment. Very high legal hurdle to overcome. Her lawyer should have advised her that he case was on very weak standing.
As the Supreme Court has said: “No right is held more sacred, or is more carefully guarded by the common law, than the right of every individual to the possession and control of his own person, free from all restraint or interference of others, unless by clear and unquestionable authority of law.”
Thus, to show that the government has violated one’s right to bodily integrity, a plaintiff need not “establish any constitutional significance to the means by which the harm occurs[.]”
The problem with the filing is that the rights, according to the above decision, shouldn’t allow the action to be both ways only. If it is the decided freedom of not being over burdened with restrictions then the school system can’t be wrong both ways at the same time. If they are being criticized for restricting the students and are getting challenged then how can they stop the restrictions and also get challenged?
It shouldn’t make it to case.

Well, we knew this would happen. If you have unpaid bills, sue someone.
She's claiming her "damages" are having to teach her kids while they were "sick".
"She said she and her husband were forced to be "primary instructors" for their children while they were out of school, and said the district had no plan in place to handle missing assignments."
Sounds incredibly weak to me. That's just part of being a parent.
Waaaaay too late for contact testing now. No way can she prove it.
“Who’s to say the kid didn’t catch it at the store?”
Either way, the kid is already CONDEMNED for life, being forced to attend a public school.
If your kid gets a cold, flu, Chicken Pox, measles, tonsillitis, or any other common childhood disease, you have to stay home to take care of your kid and be their “primary instructor.” How is this any different?
“No plan to handle missing assignments” is absolute BS. Every school in the country can deliver assignments to the kid and receive the work back. Somehow we even managed to do that before the Internet and broadband back in the Dark Ages.
So the kid was in school 24/7 for 10 days and that’s how they know he got it in school. s/
Damn that school! Now her kids have acquired NATURAL IMMUNITY (the gold standard of immunities) to COVID-19. Time to sue the school.
Exactly. Just part of parenting. The suit seems frivolous and should be dismissed, but politics will certainly be in play.
The article doesn’t mention what symptoms her son (and, subsequently, 2 other sons) had, other than testing positive. We’ve had several cases near me where students have tested positive but only had very minor symptoms, if any.
Also, was her son diagnosed using a rapid antigen test or PCR test? The rapid tests are very unreliable. Just ask the crones on The View.
They do eat, ... children.
“She said she and her husband were forced to be “primary instructors” for their children while they were out of school, and said the district had no plan in place to handle missing assignments.”
So, the parents were forced to act like parents. How awful.
Can I sue the district if my kid catches a cold or the flu at school? Or do those no longer exist anymore?
So when the school removed the mandate, did they also put a rule in place that said you cannot wear a mask? Because why didn’t your son just wear one if she’s so pro mask?
Does the little darlin have covid or Mono
How does she know it wasn’t a false positive test result?
When did private school and homeschool get outlawed?
