Do you think the governor's race will have an impact on Northern VA school board elections? Or is that too down ballot and most people don't even select anyone that far down the ballot? Do you think people are paying close attention? I feel like nonpartisan races are getting hypersensitive about the what political affiliation is of each candidate. Some people have it way wrong. What do you think?

OTH I would like more info about Polk if anyone knows anything.

It's not true. Polk has sent home classrooms of kids to quarantine because one kid in the class tested positive. Entire classrooms, nor majority of classrooms, are not getting sick. The masks are working, nobody else is testing positive after the initial kid, and kids are just forced to be home for a few weeks.

Haha. Kids go to school all over Europe without masks with worse vaccination and case rates than here, but "the masks are working." It is a zombie mask cult.

Another reason I'm glad I voted for Youngkin (first time voting Republican ever).

Too funny. Putting a bandana over your mouth and nose prevents the plague according to these people. It's time to get back to normal. Covid just isn't that dangerous for children. Just look at Florida.

Still no apology for keeping schools closed by the Democratic leadership last year. It’s clear to all of us that schools could have stayed open with proper risk mitigation.

LCPS school board has 3 resignations over the rape coverup and lying to the public on record.

Question is begged: when is superintendent Scotty Z submitting his resignation?

I’ve only heard of one resignation, Beth Barts.

In answer to the question, I think school board shenanigans will impact the governor’s race, negatively for McAuliffe.

(Though sure there teacher would say - they totally wear them w no complaints and sometimes they forget they still have them on at lunch!) They now know that their cousins in Europe and in Midwest and are not wearing masks and are so angry and done with them. I am too. And yes, I will vote on this single issue because Ds need a wake up call that they are absolutely out of synch on this issue.

Masks will be off next year - either spring if the numbers are looking good or the fall at the latest. Why elect a Trump Republican for FOUR YEARS over an issue that won’t even exist months after the new governor will be in office?

High schools are almost fully vaccinated with very low cases.

And they are still masked.

Don't assume that vaccinations and very low cases will get your kids unmasked with current leadership. It won't.

Nope. We still have “substantial” community spread - numbers are similar to last April.

Once we get down to yellow/blue, the mask requirement will drop.

No we don't. Especially not amongst kids.

Yes we do.

There is an elementary school in Alexandria that has 3/4ths of its 5th grade class out sick and there is a 6th grade class that has more than 1/2 of its kids out. Those kids were all masked and that apparently didn't make much of a difference at alll. Community spread is a real thing. Adult spread is low because adults are vaccinated. Kids aren't. Frankly I am appalled that we haven't begun closing schools and doing virtual for the K-5 set. The risk and negative health outcomes aren't worth the juice for keeping schools open. I would like to see K-5 schools closed until the kids are vaccinatedc.
