โ€œ WILL issued a letter to the Kenosha County health department reminding the local agency that a recent Wisconsin Supreme Court decision, James v. Heinrich, prevents local health officers from closing schools for in-person learning. Under state law, local elected school boards retain the authority to make decisions on how schools are run and if precautions should be taken. The health department can offer guidance, recommendations, and advice to school boards and administrators as they navigate the pandemic. But they do not retain the authority to close schools.โ€
