Florida Department of Education

The proposed rule, which will be considered Wednesday and would update curriculum for kindergarten through 12th grade, in part involves instilling patriotic values in schoolchildren.

The Florida Department of Health on Friday proposed a long-term rule to try to prevent school mask mandates and give parents more authority to decide whether children who have been exposed to COVID-19 should be able to attend school.

Florida is the last state to submit a plan to the U.S. Department of Education that's required before more than $2.3 billion in federal aid for Florida schools can be released.

Two districts revised mask mandates to allow parental opt-outs, but others aren't backing down. Education Commission Richard Corcoran has now suggested pulling funds equal to federal grants awarded to cover the penalties of noncompliant boards.

The parents want the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a judge's refusal to issue a preliminary injunction against Gov. DeSantis' executive order, which they claim violates the ADA and federal Rehabilitation Act.

The federal government continues to withhold one-third of the state’s allocation, which amounts to $2.3 billion.

Officials will look at the districts’ compliance with initial and revised Department of Health rules. Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran is expected to report findings of “probable cause.”

State officials say it's due to a "banking error" by JPMorgan Chase.

The U.S. Education Department announced Friday that it is investigating Florida over its rules that block local schools districts from enacting student mask mandates.

Attorneys for parents who challenged the executive order filed a motion requesting that the judge issue an order vacating the automatic stay. If the request is granted, that could keep his ruling in effect during the appeal.

Taking the case to the 1st District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee puts an automatic stay on the judge's ruling, which effectively means it would be put on hold while an appeal moves forward.

Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran says the districts are noncompliant with a state health department rule triggered by a governor's ban on local mandates, which a judge has ruled is unconstitutional.
