Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to school officials & teachers: Enforce mask mandate, get your salaries withheld
The state "could" defund the salaries of district superintendents and county school board members who mandate mask-wearing in schools, according to a statement from Gov. Ron DeSantis' office.
His spokeswoman, Christina Pushaw, released the following language Monday afternoon:
"With respect to enforcing any financial consequences for non-compliance of state law regarding these rules and ultimately the rights of parents to make decisions about their children's education and health care decisions, it would be the goal of the State Board of Education to narrowly tailor any financial consequences to the offense committed.
