Some schools don't apply coronavirus rules evenly, students say - Tampa Bay Times

Florida schools have opened up in so many ways besides holding classes. Sporting events, for instance, have taken place, with the fall season about to give way to winter teams. You can argue whether it’s been a good idea, given the number of virus cases and quarantines imposed upon football, volleyball and even cheerleading teams. But there’s also an underlying question of fairness, as some student groups haven’t been provided the same opportunities as others. Read on for that and the rest of today’s Florida education news. And don’t forget to vote, if you haven’t already cast your ballot.

‘Why do sports get to do it and we don’t?' Pasco County theater and arts students want to perform in front of live audiences, just like their schools' football and volleyball teams. They say they’re willing to follow whatever health safety protocols are required.

Concerns center on spreading the coronavirus. The Duval County school district said it will release case details faster, the Florida Times-Union reports.

Masks play an important role. A Sarasota mom was so outraged by a parent group’s lawsuit challenging her district’s mask mandate that she asked to join as a co-defendant, the Herald-Tribune reports.

Florida universities are eyeing a full return to in-person classes for second semester. Some University of Florida students and faculty members protested the idea in front of the president’s house, WUFT reports.

In-person or at home? Parents need to choose. Because the logistics are so complicated, Volusia County schools won’t let students switch options again after this week, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reports. • Seminole County schools have started surveying families about their second semester choice, WKMG reports.

It’s time to go. A highly regarded Pasco County principal quit her job to work on education issues from the community side.

He’s fired again. The Palm Beach County principal who gained national attention after questioning the Holocaust is without a job, as the School Board that fired and then rehired him reversed itself, the Sun-Sentinel reports. More from the Palm Beach Post.

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind has a new leader. She’s worked for the school for 26 years, the St. Augustine Record reports.

Better late than never. The Leon County school district’s Chromebook order has arrived, and students began receiving their devices Monday, WFSU reports.

Don’t miss a story. Here’s the link to yesterday’s roundup.

Before you go ... Don’t forget to vote. And remember all those down ballot school races and referenda. Make your voice heard, like these Tampa=area singers.
