Florida Department of Education

Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran went head-to-head with Board of Education member Michael Olenick over the role of teachers union leaders in the state's school reopening case.

The state Department of Education will direct the money to 18 districts that have lower rates of internet connectivity and limited access to health professionals.

The state is appealing decisions by Leon County Circuit Judge Charles Dodson, who twice last week sided with the Florida Education Association and the Orange County teachers union in lawsuits challenging Corcoran’s July 6 emergency order requiring schools to reopen brick-and-mortar classrooms in August or risk losing state funding.

After winning an initial round in the closely watched legal fight, teachers unions have asked a Leon County circuit judge to lift a stay on his ruling that a state mandate to reopen brick-and-mortar schools is unconstitutional.

An automatic stay has been applied to the case by the First District Court of Appeals.
