The school board in Florida’s Hillsborough County voted on Aug. 18 to impose a mask mandate on school children, in defiance of a state rule put in place by the administration of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The board voted 5–2 in favor of the mask mandate, which allows parents to opt-out only with a doctor’s note, according to Fox 13.
