FLORIDA TEACHER’S UNION SUE GOVERNOR

Florida’s largest teacher’s union is suing Governor Ron DeSantis over plans to reopen schools for in-person instruction next month. In its lawsuit the Florida Education Association said the school reopening order violates the Florida Constitution, which requires that a uniform, efficient, safe, secure and high-quality system of public schools exist. The union says the decision to reopen schools should be made at the local level. A survey of FEA members found that 90% were opposed to any plan that involved opening traditional schools five days a week.
