Starting Monday, masks will be required in Fort Worth ISD classrooms and buildings for all students, teachers, staff, and visitors.

Superintendent Kent P. Scribner announced a mask mandate last month, but a group of parents filed a lawsuit and won a temporary injunction in Tarrant County court.

The district filed an appeal, and as a result, the temporary injunction was halted and not enforceable against the district until further notice.
