Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration said the Board of Education will tailor financial penalties to hold accountable the few officials who made a decision to break the law by approving school mask mandates, and the state will withhold funding in the exact amount of those officials’ salaries.
In letters written by Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran obtained by the Epoch Times, the commissioner had warned the superintendents and board chairs that he planned to withhold funds in the amount equal to their salaries.
