Florida's largest school district drops all mask mandates
16 hrs ago
MIAMI (AP) Florida's largest school district is dropping all mask mandates, allowing parents in all grades to decide whether their children should wear a face covering, the superintendent announced Tuesday.

The new guideline will go into effect Friday. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)Miami-Dade County School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho made the announcement after a judge ruled last week that Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis was within his authority to allow parents to opt out of strict mandates. But rather than cite the decision, Carvalho said coronavirus cases are dropping, adding that protocols could change if cases spike again.

The school board of state's second-largest district in Broward County also approved making masks optional on Tuesday.
Reported cases of coronavirus have dropped from an average of 21,700 cases a day back in mid-August, when the school year began to an average of 1,500. Hospitalizations have also plummeted from about 17,000 to 1,300 patients.
Carvalho said three out of four schools in the district didn't have any coronavirus cases last week, and most of them were elementary schools.
The two large school districts have been going against the DeSantis' administration in strictly requiring masks of all students. The state's health department imposed a rule, ordering districts to allow the parents the choice of whether the children wear masks.
The fight between the districts and the state has resulted in docked school board salaries, withholding of district funding and has drawn the attention of federal education officials.
