public schools

At the "strong urging" of the state Department of Education, the Duval school district says it will no longer participate in the federal questionnaire for teens.

COVID-19 protocols are somewhat relaxed, including optional masks, but school districts in the seven-county region suggest students who are experiencing symptoms should stay home.

As legal battles heat up, the Department of Education will consider expanding the "hope scholarship" to provide access to vouchers for families against mask mandates.

Most of the districts that decided to keep mask mandates despite the governor's executive order are following new rules put in place by the state's Department of Health and Board of Education.

The Broward, Leon, Duval and Alachua school districts began testing how far they can go regarding student mask mandates, setting up potential showdowns with the governor and education commissioner.

The education commissioner assured the State Board of Education that Gov. Ron DeSantis “will take nothing less than full parental choice.”
