Virginia schools can require masking for peers and teachers of 12 students with disabilities to protect from virus exposure as part of reasonable accommodations under federal disability law, according to a settlement reached this week

The settlement concludes a legal battle between the parents of the students with disabilities that put them at high risk of severe illness from Covid-19 and state officials, including Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who issued an executive order forbidding schools from requiring mask-wearing as one of his first acts in office.

“This was a fair settlement for all,” said Macaulay Porter, a spokesperson for Youngkin. The Virginia Department of Education is taking the steps outlined in the settlement agreement, according to Charles Pyle, a spokesperson. As part of the settlement, the plaintiffs will be additionally awarded a sum of $295,000 for attorney fees, costs, disbursements and expenses by the state. The settlement did not include an admission of fault or liability.

If you're sick. Stay home

The ones needing the mask should be the ones wearing them. I have worn mask before Covid when I was sick so I would not make others sick but being forced to wear one when I'm not sick is just wrong.
