Ron DeSantis argue against school mask mandates in a Tallahassee courtroomST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The coronavirus is disrupting more classrooms in Florida while lawyers for Gov. Ron DeSantis argue against school mask mandates in a Tallahassee courtroom. Three more school districts held hearings Tuesday to discuss stricter mask policies to avoid more disruptions as more staff and students are sent home due to COVID-19 infections and exposures. The school board in Pinellas County, where St. Petersburg and Clearwater are located, voted 4-3 against scheduling an emergency meeting later this week to consider a 90-day student mask mandate. And in the Florida Keys, Monroe County's board began discussions about a mask policy Tuesday.
