The Republican governors have argued it should be up to individuals to decide if they want to wear masks, which protect others against the spread of the virus.
A dozen parents have sued DeSantis, saying the governor's executive order attempting to block school districts from requiring students wear masks is unconstitutional because it infringes on a district's right to ensure the safety of all children.
Leon County Judge John Cooper will hear arguments in a motion to dismiss a lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis' mandatory school mask policy ban. The case next Thursday. If he declines to dismiss it, arguments will begin August 23rd.
