The Biden administration on Thursday began compensating Florida school board members whose salaries were docked for defying Gov. Ron DeSantis’ state ban on mask mandates, the U.S. Department of Education said in a statement.
The department announced in a press release that as part of its Project to Support America’s Families and Educators grant program, it gave almost $148,000 in funding to the School Board of Alachua County—the first board to receive such grants under the scheme.
