FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - The Florida Department of Education has approved Broward County Public Schools’ reopening plan for the upcoming school year.

Broward had said returning back to classrooms was not an option due to the surge in COVID-19 cases.

Instead, all students in the county will start online on Aug. 19.

The school district proposed a 23-page plan that will serve both teachers and students.

Meanwhile, the Florida Education Association has filed a lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

They’re asking a judge to block the state from forcing school districts to reopen in the fall for in-person classes.
