CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — A west suburban teacher can no longer work at her school after challenging the district’s COVID-19 requirements.

Nicole Cournaya, a second grade teacher at Ferson Creek Elementary School in St. Charles, had been challenging District 303's COVID-19 vaccination and testing requirements in Kane County court.

She was told this week she can no longer teach at her school.

The Kane County Chronicle reported Cournaya was denied a temporary restraining order to prevent the school district from enforcing Gov. J.B. Pritzker's order, which bans school workers from buildings if they're unvaccinated against COVID-19 and refuse to be tested weekly.
