After ongoing debate, masks and face coverings will be optional in all Virginia public schools after new legislation passed its final hurdle in the House of Delegates.
Legislators approved Senate Bill 739 on a party-line vote, 52-48, on the House floor on Wednesday. Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed the bill just a few hours later, to lift school mask mandates across the Commonwealth. The governor included an emergency clause to make the bill effective no later than March 1.
