Florida Board of Education orders Broward, Alachua counties to allow mask opt-out in 48 hours or start losing funding

CNN  

CNN — The Florida State Board of Education has sent an order to Broward and Alachua counties’ school board officials stating that they have 48 hours to comply with the state’s wishes to allow an opt-out option for masks or the state will begin withholding funds, according to copies of the orders shown to CNN. The State Board of Education also says they will continue to investigate Broward and Alachua until it finds them to be in compliance and it may add additional penalties. The order follows a unanimous State Board of Education vote Tuesday to recommend that Alachua and Broward counties be investigated for requiring mask-wearing in schools. “To that end, we’ve also made clear to district leaders that any financial penalties imposed by the state can be addressed immediately using CARES, CRRSA, or American Rescue Plan funds,” he added.
