Florida education commissioner directed to determine fate of 2 school districts for defying Gov. DeS

Florida's State Board of Education held an emergency meeting Tuesday evening and unanimously directed the commissioner to further investigate the conduct and acts of Broward and Alachua counties superintendents and to take all legal steps to enforce the established rule. That includes the ability to withhold funding, in the form of salaries, removing positions and public records requests, but the board specified it does not want funding pulled in a way that would "harm" students.
