Are we sure districts will comply? WTOP keeps talking about lawsuits, but I haven't seen any filed against the bill, just the EO.
The constitutionality of the bill has been challenged in court, since it takes away powers that have been traditionally given to locally elected school boards, and Democratic Del. Marcus Simon said the amendments will ultimately end up in court as well. The governor’s office and Republicans have said a simple majority vote is required for the bill to go into immediate effect; Democrats say a 4/5th majority is required. Simon said there are conflicting provisions in the state constitution saying that both things are true.

(Funny thing how Del. Simon didn't mind when the House changed the rules in 2020 to use a simple majority vote to pass an emergency clause from Northam.)
It's state law now and the state constitution is very clear about the General Assembly controlling education.
What? Article VIII, Section 7 gives School Boards the power to supervise schools. The General Assembly has a role in standards of learning but not supervising schools. This law seems unconstitutional to me.
Don’t worry. I’m sure within a couple of days a court will issue an emergency order that stops the law going into effect. All these cultish anti-maskers are celebrating way, way prematurely.

As a teacher of seniors, I can tell you we aren’t checking an opt out list at that point. It’s up to them if they wear it in the classroom. That’s between them and their parents if they disagree.

No one is traveling? Lots of my students went to Disney in January for long weekends or are going next weekend. I don’t blame their parents. It’s nice to get away. I had four today ask me what they would miss Friday because they are flying to various places on Thursday for a long weekend.

I’d hope so. They can fight for us in war. I think they should be able to decide about a mama.
But I am sure you disagree.

I love when these people think they've "done" something.
Sir, cases are down because Omicron has run its course in this area. Also, no one is traveling at the moment.
I can't wait to see the numbers after spring break when everyone travels.
We'll continue masking AND living our lives. Contrary to what some believe, you can still live a fun, fulfilling life doing activities while wearing a mask. My kids never complain.
