[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At issue is whether governor can, through executive order, without legislative action by the Virginia General Assembly, reverse a lawfully-adopted statute. In this case, Senate Bill 1303, adopted with the goal of returning students to safe in-person instruction five days a week in March 2021 and still legally in effect, provides that local school boards should follow The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) health and safety requirements.

I'm thinking no, he cannot do that.

ACPS press release here, but no link to the Complaint yet, unfortunately: https://www.acps.k12.va.us/site/default.aspx?PageType=3&DomainID=1527&ModuleInstanceID=11396&ViewID=6446EE88-D30C-497E-9316-3F8874B3E108&RenderLoc=0&FlexDataID=15513&PageID=3707[/quote]

I suspect there will be parent choice by Valentines Day no matter what happens with the EO.  If the schools succeed, the legislature will take action, and they may do so in any event..  Look at who passed SB 1303, which will be the same folks that change it to create the "off ramp".  https://www.dunnavantdelivers.com/post/press-release-statement-of-senator-dunnavant-on-sb1303?fbclid=IwAR3O9FICEtrmIrpp475K4WoIOYenKoYrAcROjrwR4q39-_ywF1rqLnnwzGc

No way.  There aren't enough subs and monitors to be in classrooms if they go to parent choice.  Out of approximately 50+ teachers I've spoken to at my school, only 3 have indicated that they are willing to teach with unmasked students in their classrooms.[/quote]

Ever this school year?  What about next school year?[/quote]

Lord, who knows.  We're basically in survival mode and trying to get through the week.  No one is thinking about next year unless they're in an active search for jobs outside of teaching, which a lot are.  It may be all talk but who knows.[/quote]
