public schools must offer in-person instruction while observing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's public health guidelines"to the maximum extent practicable." The CDC recommends universal masking in schools for anyone aged two or older.
"Today's action is not politically motivated," the school boards added."The lawsuit is not brought out of choice but out of necessity." "In addition to the students and the staff who attend and teach in the plaintiffs' school divisions, those students and staff have siblings, parents, guardians, and other family members—young and old—who cannot take or benefit from the Covid-19 vaccine due to age or medical condition, and who are particularly vulnerable to the effects of a Covid-19 infection," the lawsuit continued.
The school districts' lawsuit comes days after more than a dozen parents whose children attend Cheaspeake Public Schools filed a separate challenge, asking the state Supreme Court to rule that Youngkin's order violates state law.Fox News
