Public Schools who want to institute Mask Mandate Rules can't be Denied Federal Funds, even if their State Governments try to Pressure them out of Mask Mandates, Education Secretary, Miguel Cardona said.

The Florida State Government threatened to Withhold Funds for Schools in, Alachua and Broward Counties, if they imposed Mandatory Mask Rules.

But the Biden Administration has Proposed using Federal Funds to Make-Up the Difference, with Cardona specifying, Sunday, that the Schools "do not have to get the green light for [their] governor to use these funds."

"We have to do everything in our power to keep them safe," Cardona said.

"I spoke to the superintendents of those two communities and I let them know that we have their back. And yes, they can draw down on the funds that were promised to them so they can safely reopen schools."

Cardona added that the Administration is prepared to launch Investigations into any State barring Masking Rules through the Office for Civil Rights, a move the Administration floated last week.
