[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I apologize if this has been covered. FCPS knew that the lifting of a mask mandate was coming when Youngkin was to be inaugurated. With the state-wide mandate FCPS School Board and/or administration really did not have to make a decision, just say this is mandated by the Commonwealth.

I have not read the executive order, but sounds as if school boards may still impose the mandate – but perhaps parents can opt their children out in some way. One would have thought FCPS would have had ready and communicated their plan having two months since the election to make a decision about keeping the mandate in place for FCPS or not. And if an opt out, which I was not aware was going to be part of the order was to be an option, how that opt-out would be implemented.

Have they done so? I do not know. I do not think so. Maybe I missed something, but what is the “rule” starting on Tuesday assuming school is in session?

FCPS released a statement saying that they would continue to mandate masks, even when/if Youngkin changes it. They even quoted SB1303 saying that the bill requires “full adherence to mitigation strategies”…oh the irony. 😊[/quote]

FCPS wo;; get sued.  Teachers won't be able to enforce masks in high school.[/quote]
