An appeals court in Tallahassee, Florida has directed lower circuit courts in two Florida counties to ensure an “immediate hearing and a prompt decision” about whether parents can opt their children out of wearing masks at school.
The Friday decision by the First District Court of Appeal was in response to a lawsuit filed by parents frustrated by school mask policies. They say school officials aren’t following a state rule that gives them sole discretion to decide whether their children should wear masks at school.
