Memory Lane | #Florida_Schools #Defy #DeSantis order to keep #Virus_Stats Under Wraps | TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida school districts are defying Gov. Ron DeSantis and publicly #Reporting #NEW Covid-19 #CASES among #Students and #Staff that the State Government Considers #Confidential.
The #State_Department_of_Health has tried to #directly_quash_reporting on the virus in some instances, after #DeSantis said #K_12 #testing_data “needs to be put in the right context.”
With #NO_Statewide_Standard, local leaders are left to decide on their own how and when to report Covid-19 cases in their districts. The result is a mix of differing daily and weekly reports and digital dashboards at school districts across Florida, with some #counties_not_reporting any #data to the #general_public.
In Bay County, for instance, school officials are aiming to produce three coronavirus reports a week. The district initially held off reporting #anything to #parents and the #community as it watched the Department of Health’s #response to counties that had #built #online_dashboards to #track the virus.
“We don’t want to get into any trouble, but we think #TRANSPARENCY is the best way to go,” Bay County Superintendent #Bill_Husfelt said in an interview.
