Manatee School District Spokesman Mike Barber said DeSantis, along with state Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran have indicated that older teachers will be a priority, but at this point there were no clear directives as to how that would play out.

Sarasota Schools Spokesman Craig Maniglia did not have any clarity on the issue, either. A spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Education referred all questions to the governor’s office, and an email requesting further information from DeSantis’ office did not receive a response. Local health officials had no concrete answers either.
