Lawsuit over De Pere school district's COVID-19 quarantine policy dismissed

DE PERE (WLUK) – A lawsuit challenging the De Pere school district’s COVID-19 quarantine policy was dismissed Wednesday, but court documents do not include any details on if any changes were made as a result.

Stephanie McManus, a substitute teacher and parent of two students in the district filed suit seeking an end to the policy.

Last month, a judge denied a request for a temporary order to stop the district from following its policy while the case was played out in court. At that time, a March 3 hearing was scheduled.

But, according to a stipulation signed Wednesday, the case “in its entirety as to any causes of action, claims, counterclaims and cross-claims, without prejudice and without costs to any of said parties” is dismissed.

When contacted by FOX 11, McManus' attorney declined to provide additional details about the dismissal or the reasons for the move.

The district's attorney has not replied to FOX 11's request for comment.
