We the parents, teachers, staff, and taxpayers of Virginia Beach are requesting the School Board to allow for masks to be optional for the 2021-2022 School Year. We are requesting for the board to respect parents’ ability to make the informed decisions on masks during school. Given that masks are not currently required by state mandate. The ending of mask requirements will allow for those who would like to continue to do so while allowing the option for all parties. 

We ask all signers of this petition if you are a parent of a school age child that you comment below with the school.
