Risking financial consequences from the state of Florida, the superintendent of Leon County Schools is not allowing parents to opt their children out of the district-wide mask mandate.

He cited the need to keep students safe, as Florida reports increased numbers of infections of COVID-19 and hospital admissions in children.

“If something happened and things went sideways for us this week and next week as we started school, and heaven forbid we lost a child to this virus, I can’t just simply blame the governor of the state. I can’t,” Hanna said. Instead, according to DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw, “The State Board of Education could move to withhold the salary of the district superintendent or school board members, as a narrowly tailored means to address the decision-makers who led to the violation of law.”Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis arrives at a news conference, Aug. 3, 2021, near the Shark Valley Visitor Center in Miami.

“We want the same thing the governor wants. We want kids in their classrooms,” Jackie Johnson, the county's communications director, told ABC News.

Huge thanks to Leon County Schools Superintendent Rocky Hanna for putting students & teachers first!! My pregnant niece teaches in Leon County and texted early this morning: “Our superintendent never heard back from DeSantis. Just mandated masks anyway. 💪🏼” LeadershipMatters

右屁股一针.报复性注射.这肯定不是个正常有证明的医生干的缺德事、这早晚都会知道是谁.行为算是性骚扰.

Our cville_schools board met yesterday in secret violating the Sunshine law! They changed school policy so administrators could NOT enforce ShelbyTNHealth mask mandate! (Some influential parents complained) & 9K Collierville kids can easily spread COVID now.

Not all heroes wear...well, you know.

Good. That state law is unconstitutional, no one has a right to infect others with a preventable virus.

Good. Safety comes ahead of a political agenda fraught with ignorance and stupidity.

Tallahassee maybe the one part of the state with any sense left.

Phoenix Union high schools tells students to mask up, despite Arizona's statewide banThe nearly 30,000 students in the Phoenix Union high school district are back in school, and wearing masks again. Cruel and unusual punishment by our gaslighting media class. Even the CDC in its official stats confirms that young people barely die from COVID. Like 600 under 18 years olds total. And it shrinks the younger you go. 👎
