A Florida lawmaker is considering legislation that would cut funding for school districts that implemented mask mandates despite a recent executive order, the Tampa Bay Times reported Monday.
State Rep. Randy Fine, who chairs the PreK-12 Appropriations subcommittee, proposed a move that would punish the dozen districts that mandated masks, the Times reported. He said the school districts should have $200 million taken away and given to the 55 other districts that adhered to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ order.
DeSantis passed an executive order banning mask mandates in schools as part of a “Parent’s Bill of Rights” that he signed into law in June. The order gave parents the right to choose whether or not to mask their kids for school.
“In Florida, there will be no lockdowns, there will be no school closures, there will be no restrictions and no mandates in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said in July.
Fine said the $200 million would come from the salaries of over 1,600 district officials, including grant directors, budget managers, and chief financial officers who make more than $100,000 per year in some of Florida’s largest counties, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

“Florida Lawmaker Considers Bill Cutting Funds for School Districts Requiring Masks”
the obvious solution ... too bad Virginia can’t do this because the fascist Democrats still have majority in the Virginia Senate ..
I like the idea. If they won’t let kids decide whether or not they want masks, then cut off the money.
DeSantis is always ten steps ahead... Best. Governor. Ever.
