Arlington Public Schools tweeted Saturday that they would stick with their mask requirement, as did Richmond Public Schools’ superintendent.

On Monday, Fredericksburg City Public Schools indicated they, too, would continue with their policy.

“The CDC and the Virginia Department of Health continue to recommend using masks in schools as a layered approach to mitigation,” the system said in a statement Monday.

Manassas City Public Schools also vowed Monday to leave their mask policy for students, staff and visitors in place in alignment with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Meantime, Loudoun County Public Schools announced that their mask mandate will remain in place at least through Jan.

In a statement Monday, school officials said they would be reviewing the updated state guidance before making public their plans on Wednesday.

The superintendent of Prince William County County Public Schools, LaTanya McDade, said their masking policies and other health precautions would remain unchanged, but they, too, will be reviewing both Youngkin’s order and anticipated guidance from Virginia’s Department of Education.
