YCSD Informational Release - Week of Jan. 17, 2022

On Saturday, Governor Youngkin issued an executive order related to schools and masking. It is important to note that this order does not go into effect until Monday, January 24. Therefore, tomorrow morning and all this week, students and staff will continue to be required to wear masks in schools and on school buses in accordance with the protocols we have had in place this school year.

Executive Order 2 has implications that affect the operations of all school divisions in the Commonwealth, and we anticipate receiving additional guidance from the state in the coming days.

As masks are one layer of the division’s mitigation strategies to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we will provide an update regarding mitigation strategies and policies prior to Monday, January 24. Our priority, as always, continues to be the safety and well-being of our students and staff.

Question or comments can be shared with the division through Let's Talk – Ask YCSD!
