Feds Begin Compensating FL School Boards Who Defy State Mask Mandate Ban

The Biden administration has begun doling out money to Florida school board members who voted to ignore the governor’s ban of face mask mandates.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order in July saying the state would withhold funding from any district that required students to wear masks, and Broward County also voted to defy the order. A state judge upheld the county's mask mandate a few weeks ago.

The state Education Department started withholding the salaries. So Project SAFE has started compensating those who defy the order. Yesterday, $148,000 was awarded to Alachua County school board members. More is coming.
