Florida’s education commissioner issued an order to Broward and Alachua counties’ school board officials, saying they have 48 hours to comply with the state’s mandate to allow parents and students to opt out of wearing masks.

“It is important to remember that this issue is about ensuring local school board members, elected politicians, follow the law,” Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said in a statement on Friday.
