In Florida, 13 school districts encompassing 1.7 million students enacted mask mandates against the wishes of the DeSantis administration —— opening local board members to state sanctions. The fight has drawn in the Biden Administration, which has pledged to financially support school officials who lose their salaries because they defy DeSantis’ rule against mask mandates.
The U.S. Education Department is digging into Florida’s compliance with a section of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a federal law that guarantees qualified students with disabilities the right to a free, appropriate public education in K-12 schools. The investigations will also assess whether school mask bans violate the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
