Appeals court sides with DeSantis, reinstating Florida's ban on school mask mandates

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' ban on school mask mandates will remain in place as the measure faces legal challenges in court, an appeals court ruled Friday. The order reverses a judge's decision to put the governor's ban on hold.
"When a public officer or agency seeks appellate review, which is the case here, there is a presumption under the rule in favor of a stay, and the stay should be vacated only for the most compelling of reasons," read the order from the First District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee. "Given the presumption against vacating the automatic stay, the stay should have been left in place pending appellate review."More Related News
