A Florida judge ruled Wednesday that Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis cannot bar schools from implementing mask mandates until the legal battle between the state and local school boards is settled by the courts. DeSantis issued an executive order in July prohibiting schools and local governments from requiring masks in public schools, instead leaving the decision up to parents. A number of school districts are challenging the order, which threatens to withhold funding for schools and teachers who do not comply.
