A statement from Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 on Monday reported that a confrontation had occurred between students regarding the wearing of masks in the building.

A woman later told the Daily Herald her daughter had been confronted by a knife-wielding student just before the start of her second-period class. The girl believed she'd been targeted for being the only student without a mask in the classroom, her mother said.
