Florida agency says state can dock pay from school districts with mask mandates

The state board authorized Corcoran to withhold 1/12 of the total annual compensation for Broward and Alachua board members on a monthly basis, a penalty they warn is “an initial step.”

Superintendents in both counties are responsible for compiling a report documenting how the school district is enforcing its “unlawful face covering mandate policy.” This would include listing any cases where a student was sent home, disciplined, isolated or stigmatized over face coverings. The reports will be continuous until Broward and Alachua come into compliance with state rules, which require school districts to offer students the ability to opt-out of any mask mandates.

Officials in Alachua County indicated Friday that their mask mandate would stay put. Broward County Public Schools officials could not immediately be reached for comment. “We will be working on a response, but we plan to stay the course,” Jackie Johnson, director of communications and community initiatives for Alachua County Public Schools, said in an interview.

Florida where you claimed DeSantis won the pandemic

Look how Politico 'sounds' GOP.

I never knew local school board members were paid.

This is all to make the lawyers money. They’ll get it back.

GovRonDeSantis this is wrong move! Mask protects why be against it?

Doesn't take a scientist to read the medical mask box to see if it helps w the c china 19

Once pcr test is gone that was recalled, we will finally get flu back. Deep state needed mass to get the DNR alternative jab b4 new test

Can’t you recall DeSantis?

Can DeSantis be recalled, like the way they're trying to do with Newsome in California? He is definitely unfit for public office based on his performance as governor so far.

Don’t worry papa joe will handle it.

Cut off the federal money that DeSantis controls let the federal government fund the schools

This is beyond believable for our country!!! I am not sure this would even happen in any other country in the world!!! Unbelievable behavior!!!!!!

Law suits to follow. For trying to SAVE children

The US Dept of Education needs to stop all education $$$ going to the state and then send the money directly to the school districts and add 10% just to piss off DeSantis.

There’s a lawsuit over this right now, so DeSantis might want to hold up on punishing anyone until and unless the. Kurt says it’s okay.

On the first day of school walkout. No teachers, no school, no problem.

Time for the feds to step in🤬

lol between the covid and the lack of water florida really is 3rd world

These folks are just plain nuts!

Florida is a dictatorship focused on oligarchy and not the residents of Florida. Shameful killing babies in the name of the GOP.

The Republican small government just got worse. The problem is not the Federal government, the problem is the Republican small state governments taking away your right to follow science and the right to vote.

BREAKING DESANTIS FIDDLES WHILE FLORIDA DIES DeSantis pouts and poses while Floridians suffer Forcing unvaxxed and unmasked kids back to school is the GOP governor's plan to kill trust in public education. GovRonDeSantis DeSadist Stories:

Masks are the only defense children have. This should be criminal what the state gov is doing to the schools There isn’t a choice for e-learning either. They have to go into the classroom. Maybe the entire school should quarantine at the same time

Except that's not how it works. They technically can't do this. The amount of their salaries will be with held, they'll still get paid, and the kids who've already lost a year of school will lose again.

What kind of businesses pay Florida school board of education

Meanwhile, children are dying.

good

If they are members of a labor union I would say that’s a damm good reason for a wild cat strike starting Monday morning. Unsafe working conditions would be a valid reason for me.

I doubt it.

School Board members shouldn’t be paid anyway.

Florida is becoming a right wing failed state. Sad because it used to be rather progressive for a southern state.

Good.

Texas School District Works Masks Into The Dress Code To Bypass BanTexas School District Works Masks Into The Dress Code To Bypass Ban “A Texas school district found a creative way around Governor Abbott’s ridiculous mask mandate ban.” 👏👏 I think there is a movement toward independent schools among Texas liberals, based on a very unscientific poll of my friends who think I'm a genius for sending my kid to a school with the same strict mask policy from last year that Abbott can't touch.
