The Biden administration stated on Aug. 13 that it'll step in to reimburse Florida schools that are openly defying Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by requiring students to wear masks.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a letter (pdf) to DeSantis that the Biden administration will ensure that any school district that has its state funding reduced as punishment by the Republican governor can draw on $7 billion from the pandemic relief measure approved by Congress in 2021.
