I got an email last night, and they are fighting the governors stance on this which previously all we needed to do is write a note exempting them now they want this,
Dear OCPS families,
At tonight's board meeting the School Board gave direction to mandate masks for all preK-12 students and adults starting Monday, August 30 until October 30. All children and adults will be required to wear a face mask during the school day while inside school board property or vehicles. The mandate will not be required for any student with a note from a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant or an employee with a medical exemption. The school board also asked for a meeting to be scheduled to clarify the current school board policy EBBA – Disease Prevention; Face Covering.
How do I get a doctors note for them? I tried looking at frontline but saw nothing for it, even tried submitting through their contact us but nothing happened when I clicked the submit button. I already know their pediatrician will NOT give a note for an exemption. Are there any known doctors in the Orlando area that will?

They actually discussed filing a lawsuit against Desantis to cover them from doing something illegal. Their legal advisor even said no it doesn't work that way... haha these people are desperate.
They also did something illegal by not putting it on the schedule to allow the public to comment.
Yeah I saw that there is some ongoing lawsuit and they are trying to promote it as if the parents are bringing this against him.
Homeschool
You need to get your kids out of the school system now.
Easy, fake it.
This is something I can not do, as it would be morally wrong to do.
Desperate times sometimes warrant desperate measures.
Just don't comply! Get other parents and students on-board, and REFUSE to comply.
What can they do send the entire student body home?
Get the kids to mass text their friends and start a revolt against the tyranny. Teach your children to stand up for themselves NOW, before this goes any further.
Text or email other parents to fight back against the policy. WE are stronger and have greater numbers on our side. Don't allow a few "board members" dictate what is right for our children.
FIGHT BACK NOW!
Unfortunately this county is blue, so I am the minority in my beliefs, I have tried and I am so traumatized by family court I do send her to school to avoid them taking me to court for truancy (however it is spelled)
Because she has ADHD and three other sisters at home, homeschooling is not an option for us.
