Florida’s Board of Education has cleared the way for the state to slowly bleed the pay of local school board members who voted to mandate masks for students, marking the first sanctions on those who have defied DeSantis administration orders
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.
