Two Florida counties double down on school mask mandates, defying governor's order
CNN
Florida's Broward and Alachua counties are not backing down on mask mandates in schools, despite Gov. Ron DeSantis' order that the mandates must allow parents to decide whether their children will wear a face covering.
Both counties have now responded to the Florida Board of Education's order that called on the districts to allow a parent opt out within 48 hours. Broward and Alachua were the first two school districts in the state to move forward with mask mandates that do not include the opt out option.More Related News
