Florida Teachers Union Sues Governor Over School Reopenings

The Florida Education Association (FEA) has filed a lawsuit against state officials to prevent the full reopening of public schools, citing a violation of the state's constitution which mandates safe and secure schools. Amid a surge in COVID-19 cases, with over 360,000 cases and 5,000 deaths, FEA President Frederick Ingraham urges the governor to acknowledge the severity of the situation. The lawsuit challenges an emergency order by Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, requiring schools to open five days a week. Some school boards oppose this, advocating for local decision-making. Governor De Santis claims the order was the Education Department's idea, while Corcoran states it was a collaborative effort.
