“The districts have no meaningful alternative,” Dodson said in his ruling. “If an individual school district chooses safety, that is, delaying the start of schools until it individually determines it is safe to do for its county, it risks losing state funding, even though every students is being taught.”
The Department of Education’s order, which was issued July 6, overrode local school boards’ rights to operate their own schools, Dodson ruled. Dodson noted that after Hillsborough County, on the advice of local health experts, voted earlier this month to delay reopening for four weeks, it was threatened with the loss of $23 million in monthly state aid by education commissioner Richard Corcoran.
“They had no real choice,” Dodson wrote. “Defendants arbitrarily prioritized reopening schools statewide in August over safety and the advice of health experts; and all school districts complied in order to avoid a drastic loss of State funding.”
Many schools, in Florida, were already open before this ruling was made. Those schools are still open.
Good riddance to cowardly teachers.
I don't want ppl who won't do their own research for facts teaching our kids!
Sad since our numbers are coming down and suicides are up. Kids need socializing. The positive side is maybe we will get to witness some of the liberal brainwashing and step in now.
Are Florida teachers Sivan with underlying illnesses. If so they should stay home and hire new heaktheyirr teachers.
The teachers sued because the state was requiring them to work without taking steps the public health department deemed necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Teachers work for municipalities. Their employer, just like your employer, is responsible for ensuring their safety.
I'm gonna tell you something- if they don't hold back the little ones at least, there's gonna be a four-fold increase in COVID19 cases in this country come August!
Sorry DeathSantis you lose. Trump is going to so hate you and mean tweet you.
Did NBChicom report on the fact that kids in Wuhan are going to school full-time, with no masks, just months after Communist China blocked domestic flights from Wuhan, while allowing all international flights out?! NBC is CCP mouthpiece.
This is a great win for all TRUE AMERICANS who favor saving the lives of others over reopening without any safty measures in place. Cant wsit to see this more and more on front pages showing how trump and his ilk fail in court and in life time and time again.
Man, I have worked through this entire thing. Teachers have gotten paid while we’re out here working and trying to “teach” our kids ourselves. Seems kind of lame
DeathSantis
Wow. I guess they don't deserve to live with the criticism they are receiving from those of who are not teachers. Oh yeah, forgot most of you don't want to be bothered by the children you brought to this world. You are the cowards.
Wow, I didnt expect that
Defund the schools
why not stay at home then, do some Zoom meetings, still get your money
Most of us worked through it. Some of us were front line. Teachers seem so weak to me.
