(THE FIRST TV) – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis isn’t letting omicron panic prevent Florida’s children from getting a proper education. DeSantis reaffirmed his stance at a recent press conference that school closures are non-negotiable —kids need to be in school.
“Our schools will be open in the state of Florida. If you look at the data that’s been amassed throughout the pandemic, it’s found that you have worse outcomes by closing schools,” DeSantis said earlier this week “And so it’d be so damaging. Kids need to be in school.”
“Parents need to be assured that they’re going to be able to send their kids to school,” the governor said. “Our universities are going to be open, our state universities, they’re going to have in person instruction. I think any university that doesn’t do that should have to refund a hundred percent of the tuition to the parents.”
