| The man is leaving office. Just curious why he wouldn’t consider it. I know, Youngkin got support bc of school closure decisions made by district boards/superintendents. Maybe FCPS and others won’t ask because they plan future political careers. Just curious. |

| Or maybe for once he made a decision not based on extreme partisanship and instead did something for the betterment of Virginia kids. Wild thought, I know. |

| State law says in person instruction. It’s not up to governor. |

| He wouldn't consider it because it's not best for kids and he's actually a doctor and can do a real risk / benefit analysis on the topic for kids. He allowed schools to open in Summer 2020. |

| He is too busy moon-walking around the governor’s mansion, trying to evade his racist past. |

Why would you want him to make one last terrible decision before leaving office? Just home school your kid if you are that scared. If you are a teacher, do you job. |

Not scared. Not a teacher. Just curious. |

You are curious why he wouldn't try to facilitate schools closing, a strategy that did nothing to control the spread of Covid but did widespread harm to students and families across the state?

| We're getting a week long closure right now, be happy with that. |

Northam’s specialty is doing nothing; and when he finally does, he makes terrible decisions. |

You're such a complainer |

| I'm more worried about the growing number of school boards voting to remove masks on January 13 if the new governor gives the go ahead, which he is indicating he will. |
