The State Board of Education on Friday followed up on its threat to financially penalize local school officials who impose student mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A legal battle over Gov. Ron DeSantis’ attempts to prevent school mask mandates will go ahead next week after a circuit judge refused to dismiss the case Thursday. Attorneys for a group of parents are challenging a July 30 executive order by DeSantis that seeks to prohibit county school boards from requiring students to wear masks.
Leon County Circuit Judge John Cooper ruled that the plaintiffs can move forward with their case, which alleges that DeSantis is needlessly compromising children s safety by prohibiting on-campus mask mandates amid a Covid-19 outbreak.
