Gov. Ron DeSantis’ decision to suspend local COVID-19 emergency orders has no impact on Florida’s school districts nor the rules they enacted this school year because of the coronavirus pandemic, state officials said.
The governor’s order, which he announced Monday morning but didn’t release until after 5 p.m., prompted lots of questions, including whether it meant the end to school rules requiring masks on campus.
It does not, the Florida Department of Education said in an emailed statement on Monday night.
