Florida Is Blocking Money From 2 School Districts Over Mask Mandates, Defying A Judge
Despite a judge's ruling on Friday declaring that the Florida governor's ban on mask mandates in schools is unconstitutional, the State Board of Education has forged ahead with its threat to withhold school board members salaries in districts that require the face cover- ings in classrooms.
Commissioner of Educa- tion Richard Corcoran announced that school board members in Alachua and Broward counties will not be getting paychecks from the department of edu- cation this month, saying their mandatory face mask policies violate parental rights. The board will hold onto the funds until each school board complies with Gov. Ron DeSantis' now overturned executive order.

Florida Governor Ron De- Santis speaks at the opening of a monoclonal antibody site Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2021, in Pembroke Pines, Fla. DeSantis has sought to block schools from requiring masks for stu- dents.
for their children," Corco- ran said in a statement on Monday. "They know what is best for their children."
It's unclear if other coun- ties will be penalized. "What's unacceptable is the
politicians who have raised their right hands and pledged, under oath, to up- hold the Constitution but are not doing so. Simply said, elected officials cannot pick and choose what laws they want to follow," Corcoran stated.
Local reports indicate that several other school dis- tricts have implemented mask mandates, including Orange, Duval, Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, Sarasota, Palm Beach, Indian River and Leon Counties. It is un- clear whether school board members in those counties will also have their pay with- held.
The bitter fight is playing out as a rash of COVID-19 infections sweeps across Florida, including among children who are not eligible for vaccination. On Monday, officials reported 18,608 new cases.
