Florida slashes federal aid to schools with mask mandates, defying Biden warning
Fox News
The Florida Department of Education (DOE) withheld federal funding from two school districts this week over forced masking policies, marking the latest conflict between schools and Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla.
"I am appalled that the state would penalize the district by pulling funding we have not even received," said Carlee Simon, Alachua County Public Schools superintendent.
Florida also withheld a total of $526,197 from Broward County school district for its mask mandate.
Monday afternoon, the U.S. Department of Education issued a "cease and desist" complaint saying that the action was unlawful.
