Lee's Summit

The Lee’s Summit School District won its countersuit against the then-Missouri attorney general when a judge ruled Eric Schmitt could not order schools to cease their COVID mitigation efforts.

As Eric Schmitt prepares to leave the Missouri Attorney General's Office for the U.S. Senate, the Lee's Summit School District still wants a judge to rule about whether he had authority to demand that schools rescind public health orders.

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt ordered school districts across the state to cease and desist COVID precautions. Attorney Joe Hatley, who fired back last Friday on behalf of Lee’s Summit, joined “St. Louis on the Air” for a closer look.
