Last Wednesday, the public school board of Miami-Dade County, Florida's largest school district, in which I serve, voted seven to one in favor of a mask mandate without parental opt-outs, unless there is an excuse from a health care provider. I was among the seven. The move defies Gov. Ron DeSantis' executive order banning schools from requiring masks and faces his administration's threat of penalizing districts that fail to comply.
