Gainesville, Florida (CNN) Tina Certain took a pay cut when she quit being an accountant to become a member of the Alachua County School Board. She still needs the $40,000 or so annual salary -- but that's now at risk in a fight with Florida Gov. "But the goal is the health and safety of students and staff," she added, explaining why she was willing to put her salary on the line. But Certain is not second-guessing the decision of the board to require everyone in schools in her northern Florida county to mask up to stop the spread of Covid-19, at least for the first two weeks of the school year. Only a doctor's note -- not just a family request -- allows someone to opt out.
