New Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin may have issued an executive order lifting mask mandates in the state’s public schools, but Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) are having none of it.
The school district sent a clear message to students at the end of last week: Mask up or pack up.
In a memo last Friday, Blue Ridge Middle School Principal Brion Bell told parents that, as per the district's COVID-19 policy, "masks are not optional" in any school campus building and, beginning Wednesday, students who "willfully" refuse to wear a mask will be suspended from school.
"A student who is suspended because of noncompliance with COVID-mitigation measures may return to school only when they agree to follow COVID-mitigation measures throughout the entire school day and at all indoor school-related events," Bell wrote. "Suspension will continue if COVID-mitigation measures are not followed."
Youngkin spokesperson Macaulay Porter told NBC Washington that the administration was disappointed that school boards were opposed to parents' rights.
"The governor and attorney general are in coordination and are committed to aggressively defending parents' fundamental right to make decisions with regard to their child's upbringing, education and care, as the legal process plays out," Porter said in a statement.
