DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A federal judge Friday extended an order that will prevent state officials from enforcing a law that prohibits school districts from implementing mask requirements until a federal lawsuit challenging the law can be heard.

Iowa school districts can keep mandating masks after a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit brought by parents and disability rights advocates.
