New law will require Virginia public schools to make masks optional by March 1
In those states, though, localities continue to have the option of requiring masks in schools. Virginia’s new law goes a step further — giving parents the right to opt out, effectively making any mandate unenforceable.Though Youngkin said during his campaign that he would lift the state mandate and let localities decide for themselves, he now says the prime factor is giving parents the individual right to choose.
Democrats in the House vehemently opposed the effort, warning that it would leave school districts powerless to act if there is another wave of the coronavirus or some other public health emergency.Youngkin modified the measure to include language asserting the right of any governor to take further action in the event of a public health emergency. It was unclear whether that language would give him the power to enforce a future mandate.
But Republican leaders declared that rules changes enacted under Democratic leadership in the past two years allowed for a simple majority vote on the emergency clause.
