FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) � Hillsborough and Miami-Dade counties have become the third and fourth school districts in Florida to adopt stricter mask mandates, a day after school boards in Broward and Alachua counties faced threats of severe penalties for defying Gov. Ron DeSantis� administration, which says parents should decide whether their children wear masks. The Hillsborough County school board voted 5-2 on Wednesday to a adopt a 30-day mask mandate with a medical opt-out for students, teachers and staff. Also Wednesday, the Miami-Dade school board passed a similar mandate with a medical exemption by a 7-1 vote. All this after the Florida Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to consider taking away funding and removing school board members who defy the governor’s order.
