Universal masking will remain at 7 Virginia schools districts, Arlington judge decides
ARLINGTON, Va. (7News) — A universal mask mandate will remain in northern Virginia schools after an Arlington judge granted the school boards' request for a temporary restraining order.
This comes two days after a hearing was held over a lawsuit that challenges Governor Glenn Youngkin's executive order that would allow parents to opt their kids out of school mask mandates.
The judge wrote “..the court concludes that the school boards’ motion for a temporary restraining order with regard to optional masking of children should be granted.”

That is what I understand.... I guess a trial is in the cards...
But if Youngkin does not have the authority to overrride the mandate, then how did northam have the authority to put it into place? Magic

Parents should boycott the school. If all the parents keep their kids home, the school will not be able to function.

The lower court is pushing this to the Appellate circuit, VA Supreme Court would be next.
Miyares is appealing.

Virginia Commonwealth Code
§ 1-240.1. Rights of parents. (https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title1/chapter2.1/section1-240.1/)
A parent has a fundamental right to make decisions concerning the upbringing, education, and care of the parent's child.
Youngkin's order simply reaffirms what the law already says. Parents have the right under Commonwealth law to make decisions concerning whether their kids wear masks.
