Yes. My school board in fairfax county said no matter what youngkin does to eradicate covid mandates- they will not comply. Yet up until this point they’ve said they e had no choice because of the current governors mandates. They are insane and evil. If a governor bans mandates, do the kids have to comply is my question. Or can they tell their teachers to pound sand and take it up with the governor?
I personally think that working within the system is wasteful use of time and energy. If you can home school, or neighbor school, just do that.
The people in charge will do whatever they want, and they will repeat doing it wrong even after they KNOW it is wrong, because they know the next parent might fall for it.
I ran into this sort of buzz saw in totally unrelated property use issue. The approval authority told me they were going to reject my use, and why. I showed black letter simple state Supreme Court precedent to them, that they were acting outside the law, the reason they gave (private covenant) is for the court, not for them (they do public zoning). They don’t care, they say “no” for the same reason, anyway.
It’s a safe abuse of power because opposition is time consuming, emotionally consuming, and costly to be a consumer in the legal industry. Your opponent doesn’t have any of those investments. The outcome in any given case is a crap shoot, depends on the decider’s point of view, not on any “rule of law.” Rule of law admits any outcome at all - the only rule is “write it down.”
Figuring out who is superior between governor rule and school board rule is an interesting academic exercise. The answer is not easy. The legislature has plenty of power, but the governor’s role here may or may not reach to local school board -— and off to the “flip a coin” court with the issue. meanwhile the kids are ... wherever “the boss” (and if you let them, the school board will step in) says.
“If a governor bans mandates, do the kids have to comply is my question.”
Well, the state government can overrule any local mandate on public health measures, that is for certain. It shouldn’t be coming from the governor though, it should be coming from the legislature. Using fake and dictatorial “emergency powers” doesn’t suddenly become okay when it is our side doing it.

They are, as is usual for the Left, severely overplaying their hand. Despite the warning that the voting public issued last week, they will continue because they arrogantly “know” that they are correct in all of their positions. LET them continue this crap, nationwide, and maybe they’ll lose 75 seats instead of 50.
Oh, and the fact that Nanzi Pelosi is looking for a new home in Florida (gee, it is amazing that she and her husband are moving to a red state with low taxes, isn’t it?) says to me that she knows for a fact that there’s no way that she’ll be Speaker in 2023, and that she’s going to hang up her broom.
