A judge on Friday dismissed a challenge to Florida’s ban on mask mandates in schools, siding with the state of Florida.

The challenge was filed by officials from six school districts—Alachua, Broward, Duval, Miami-Dade, Orange, and Leon counties. They were among eight school boards that were dealt penalties after adopting masks mandates.
