NORFOLK, Va. — The Virginia Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a challenge brought by Chesapeake parents over Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s executive order that seeks to end mandatory masking in schools.
The lawsuit was brought by 13 Chesapeake parents — all of whom have children in Chesapeake Public Schools — and asked the state’s high court to issue an emergency order blocking the new administration from enforcing the order.
In tossing the lawsuit, the Virginia Supreme Court did not take a stand on whether Youngkin’s executive order is lawful.
