A Florida judge has ruled that school districts in the state can require students to wear masks. At least 10 school districts — including those in many of the largest cities — had been defying state rules banning masks orders by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Judge John Cooper ruled on a lawsuit brought by parents who say DeSantis overstepped his authority when his administration said school districts couldn't order students to wear masks. DeSantis had warned that "there will be consequences" for districts that defied the ban.
