executive order

In a joint motion, attorneys for the parents and the DeSantis administration said the case was moot because of a law passed during a special session this month.

The court's five-page document explains a decision to place a stay on a ruling by Leon County Judge John Cooper, who said the governor overstepped his authority in the July 30 executive order.

The state Department of Education has withheld hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding from the districts because of their masking policies, defying warnings from the Biden administration.

The DeSantis administration has asked an appeals court to block challenges filed by five school boards against a Department of Health rule aimed at preventing student mask mandates.

The state claims the trial judge substituted his "own health policy preferences or risk assessments for those of the governor or, more importantly, the state health officer and surgeon general.”

A Leon County circuit court judge has ruled in favor of a group of parents challenging Gov. Ron DeSantis’ executive order that blocks school districts from requiring students to wear masks.

A few Florida school systems are defying the order and they’re challenging the governor’s policy in court.

Alachua County is moving forward with requiring students to have doctors’ notes to avoid wearing masks, while Leon County backed away from a similar plan and will comply with the state’s demands.

Gov. Ron DeSantis let an executive order declaring a public health emergency expire Saturday, and with it many regulatory flexibilities providers received during the pandemic including those related to telehealth.
