The Middlesex County School Board, above, voted 4-1 Friday to delay a decision on whether or not to adhere to Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s “Order No. Two” until the Feb. 14 school board meeting. The order gives parents the authority to determine if their children wear masks in school or not. The board in a special called meeting at St. Clare Walker Middle School auditorium defied the governor’s order that the mask policy must be in place by Monday, Jan. 24. New Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has made school systems aware if they do not adhere to the policy on Jan. 24, they will be hearing from his office. (Photo by Larry Chowning)

At least for now, the Middlesex County School Board (MCSB) voted not to abide by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s “Order No. 2,” which allows parents to decide if their children wear masks in school.
During wintry conditions outside on Friday, Jan. 21, MCSB met in the St. Clare Walker Middle School auditorium at 6 p.m. to give the public an opportunity to express its opinions on masks.
