(The Center Square) - Ten Virginia school districts will be allowed to impose limited mask mandates to accommodate students who have disabilities pending the outcome of a lawsuit against Gov. Glenn Youngkin's prohibition on public school mask mandates.

A federal judge approved an injunction against the governor's mask mandate prohibition for 12 students with disabilities who reside in 10 different school districts.
