Judge tosses Florida school districts’ lawsuit over mask mandate ban

Source: The Hill | November 5, 2021 | Jordan Williams

A Florida judge tossed a challenge from several of the state’s school districts over the Sunshine State’s ban on school mask mandates.

In a 22-page decision Friday, an administrative law judge ruled that officials from six counties failed to prove that the ban was “an invalid exercise of delegated legislative authority.”

In a statement, the Florida Department of Health hailed the ruling as “yet another victory for parent’s rights.”

“At this point, the courts have been entirely clear: All school districts must come into compliance with the law and honor parental rights to make decisions for their children,” the statement said.

The ruling is the latest in a months-long battle between school districts and the state which has resulted in some districts losing hundreds of thousands of dollars over their masking protocols.
