CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — Thirteen parents in Chesapeake are suing newly-elected Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin over his executive order to end the mask mandate in K-12 schools in Virginia.

Along with Youngkin, those named in the lawsuit include Virginia Acting State Health Commissioner Colin Greene, Virginia Acting Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow, the Chesapeake School Board, and Chesapeake City Public Schools Superintendent Jared Cotton.

The parents’ argument centers around previous legislation that gives power to local school boards to make their own decisions.

Youngkin’s Executive Order Two calls the mask mandates in schools “ineffective and impractical” and orders that masks can be optional for students starting next Monday, Jan. 24.
