The School Board Chairman overseeing Virginia's second-largest school division blamed public health officials and the media for providing false information that kept schools closed during the coronavirus pandemic.

Dr. Babur Lateef posted to Twitter today a message asking residents to "never forget" the school closures that led to students across Virginia falling behind in math, science, reading, and writing, according to the latest Virginia Standards of Learning scores released Thursday, August 18.

"NEVER FORGET what misinformed and misled public health officials, politicians, constituencies, and media did to stop the busses and close schools," Lateef stated.
