ORLANDO, Fla. – The high amount of coronavirus cases throughout Florida has resulted in many school districts updating mask policies for the beginning of the semester

This past Friday a Florida judge blocked Gov. Ron DeSantis’ ban on school mask mandates, the judge said the ban was not legal.

DeSantis wants it to be mandatory for parents to have the option to opt their child from wearing a mask in class.

Gov. DeSantis said he is appealing the ruling.

School board members have been having discussions with community members at public meetings last week and more are set for this upcoming week.

Brevard County

Brevard County voted 3-2 in favor of a 30-day mask policy. Students can opt out of the policy with a note from their doctor.

Osceola County

An emergency school board meeting was held Monday to have discussions on a mask policy. The school board decided to not make any adjustments at this time.

School board member Terry Castillo told News 6 she wants to see a 60-day mask mandate.

Castillo wanted this in place after Celebration School K-8 was forced to turn to online learning last week due to COVID-19 cases.

At the moment, masks are optional for high school students. Students in K-8th grade can opt out of the mask policy with permission from a parent or guardian.
