The Florida Department of Education has issued an order requiring that all schools must reopen for in-person classes this fall.
According to the plan released Monday evening, all school boards and charter school governing boards must open brick and mortar schools in August at least five days per week for all students, subject to the advice and orders of the Florida Department of Health.

Earlier on Monday, President Donald Trump tweeted his desire that school reopens for the fall semester. U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos echoed that.
Duval County Schools issued a statement about the order.
We have received the states order, and we are studying it. We will be adapting our plans to ensure they are compliant with this state direction. Once we know what those modifications will be, we will be able to say more, a district spokesman said.

at all costs. I wonder how many older teachers will return to the classrooms for almost certain infection in a State that is niggardly with teacher pay. I guess that Desantis, also know as Trump-light, is going to hold the party line regardless of who it kills. Leadership Republican style.
If I still had school aged kids, I would be home schooling.

to put a bunch of kids on a bus for up to an hour then put them in a class room for hours at a time. I dont see this turning out well. I also dont see them having enough teachers or bus drivers for that matter. There are a lot of teachers here in the drop program. Im sure theyll all quit.
