A motion to dismiss a legal battle over the Episcopal School of Jacksonville’s mask policy has been signed by Judge Robert Foster, court documents reveal.
Effective Sept. 7, Duval County Public Schools students must wear a face covering that covers both their nose and mouth while inside a school facility, according to a new mask policy implemented Monday night.
The state Board of Education on Tuesday voted in favor of a recommendation to “use its enforcement powers” against Alachua County Public Schools after the district defied a statewide order to allow students to opt out of wearing a face mask without a doctor’s note.
