Schools around the state - including Baker County - are starting to reopen today. 

 

At the same time, a new report finds Florida’s school districts were prevented by Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration from seeking advice from their county health departments about how or even whether to reopen in-person classrooms. 

 

Florida Times-Union Education Reporter Emily Bloch joined us with more information.
