I agree. It's something a strong 6th grade student could have written.

It seems like it was scrawled out in a rush.

Will be interesting go see what the courts do.

The EOs really do seem rushed. He had two months to prepare for this transition, you would think he and his team would have spent more than two hours total on the first-day EOs.

Yes, but the state law requires schools to follow those recommendations.

They do this when "practicable". That's what the law requires.

Yes, the CDC recommendations are just that....recommendations. The state law that requires school districts to implement those recommendations to the greatest extent possible is not a recommendation.

Anyone thinking of not sending their young kid on Monday?

I'm just thinking ahead for if there are confrontational parents there, I don't want them to see/hear any of that.

Or god forbid, a crazy one does show up with a gun and sends the school in lockdown, you know?

OP you're being completely rational and logical. Too many people are not. That is the problem.

I’m reading that some school boards are deciding to allow parents to use the mask opt out…but aren’t these schools in violation of the state law by doing so?

Nah. Our governor has decided that lawlessness is good for business.

As a former CEO of the Carlyle Group, he knows all about what's good for business.

Parents in another part of the state have already filed suit, and the state has responded. It is at the Virginia Supreme Court now.

I’m sure I’m missing something obvious, but doesn’t SB1303 require all VA public schools to follow CDC COVID guidance (therefore, have masking in schools)? So don’t all VA public schools require masking indoors right now, and none of them could make a different choice because of the EO (at least not until it gets sorted out by the courts).
Thanks in advance.
