A Florida judge has blocked an order that requires Florida school districts to offer in-person learning.
The judge says the order fails to consider safety concerns and advice from health experts during the pandemic.
The decision stems from a lawsuit filed by the Florida Education Association against Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Florida commissioner of education, the Florida Department of Education and Board of Education and the mayor of Miami-Dade County. It alleges an executive order requiring schools have to offer in-person learning violated the Florida constitution.
The state has appealed the decision, putting a stay on the judge's injunction. Lawyers for the FEA say they will file a motion to reinstate that ruling.
