The Florida Department of Education informing Centner Academy that it is investigating the legality of its recently announced policy that vaccinated students should stay home and quarantine for one month after getting inoculated, CNN reports.
The agency said that the school’s policy recently came to its attention and that it “may employ attendance policies which require parents of recently vaccinated students to quarantine their children for an unreasonable, unnecessary and unduly burdensome amount of time before returning for in-person instruction.”
The Centner Academy is propagating a lie about the vaccine: that newly vaccinated people will “shed” virus, thereby becoming more of a risk to others. This has been disproven by multiple studies.
Senior Chancellor Jacob Oliva, the state head of education, informed Centner that it had until Friday to ensure its policies conformed to the law. “Should our investigation reveal that your schools’ policies fail to comport with these lawful rights and obligations, understand that the action that follows — up to and including revocation of your schools’ scholarship eligibility and funding — will be both swift and decisive,” the letter says.
