“A local parent with the help of a northern Wisconsin brewery has filed a federal lawsuit against the Waukesha School District and Waukesha School Board, saying her son got sick after being exposed to a classmate who had COVID-19 symptoms due to the district’s lack of mitigation protocols. Attorney Frederick Melms filed the lawsuit on Oct. 5 in the U.S. Eastern District of Wisconsin on behalf of Shannon Jensen and other parents and K-12 Waukesha School District students.”
“The lawsuit is the latest instance of local parent frustration with how area school boards have responded to the pandemic and yet another example of how school board meetings have increasingly become ground zero in politics. The lawsuit, which is being funded by the Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC and argues for class-action status, is seeking an injunction ordering the district to comply with CDC COVID-19 guidelines” – Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
