We also saw Florida’s governor open certain beaches back up to the public; however, it looks like Florida schools aren’t nearing reopening.

The schools were originally scheduled to remain closed through April, but in a press conference this afternoon, Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, announced that the state’s schools would remain closed for the duration of the academic year.

According to DeSantis and Click Orlando, “given where they are in the school year and the ongoing pandemic, he believes continuing distance learning for now is the best option.”
