Governor Lifts Mask Mandates In Virginia Schools

Virginia lifts mask mandates for Commonwealth schools.

An executive by Governor Glen Youngkin lifting mask mandates in Virginia schools takes effect today.   Local school systems in the state have the option of continuing the mask requirements.

The Youngkin administration has filed a lawsuit in Virginia’s Supreme Court seeking to make mask mandates in the state illegal.  In the interim, the governor has urged families to follow local school system’s mask regulations.
