Serving and volleys over the issue of mandatory masks in Florida schools continued, and the school board and Governor Ron DeSantis attacked the topic.along with The White House injects itself During the debate, the school board felt guts to disobey the order and the law, so now the governor responded with promised revenge.
DeSantis vowed to withhold targeted funds based on the response of certain school districts.He will ensure that the school board Broward County and Alachua County As these institutions defy his orders and install masks in schools under their control, funding will be shelved. As expected, the statements made by the media and the Biden administration are inaccurate.
The initial discussion point was that it is cruel for the governor to take the much-needed money from the school, especially when they spend more on Covid safety measures in the classroom. This is a deliberate misinformation, because the detained funds are used for the school board and are balanced with the salary of the board members. As a sign of the pertinence of this financial punishment, the money depends only on the salary of the board members who voted for violating the order concerning masks.
Broward may lose about $31,182 per month, which is equivalent to the monthly salary of eight school board members who support the task of wearing masks. The state will not withhold the salary of board member Lori Alhadeff, who is the only member who voted against the authorization. The annual salary of school board members is US$46,773.
The next misleading is that the Sun Sentinel called this an act of revenge, not a legal punishment. The state has followed up on the threat of school masks, Reading their titles suggests that this was carried out as a personal vendetta. There are multiple levels of legal obligations For the school board, because they not only ignored the governor’s executive order, but also ignored another order from the Ministry of Health. There are also provisions under the “Regulations” Parents’ Bill of Rights, Passed by the state legislature, allowing parents to make choices for their children.
In addition, the state stipulates that the funds of the school board cannot be adjusted by obtaining funds from other budgets of the school system.
The order stated: “In order to comply with the order, the Broward County School District shall not reduce any expenditures related to the compensation of school board members.” “In addition, the Broward County School District may not allow the reduction of funds under this order to affect student services. Or teacher salary.”
The question now is whether this confrontation will enter the next stage. The two counties have two days to comply with the ban on wearing masks. If they decide to continue the task, they can take another step. In a lengthy conference call on the issue earlier this week, the state committee expressed its willingness to remove school board members who blatantly violated the executive order and the law.
