MIAMI (CBSMiami) - The US Secretary of Education Miguel A. Cardona sent a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran saying it stands with the educators who are working to safely re-open schools and keep in-person learning safe.
The letter went on to say it will work directly with districts to ensure they and educators work to keep students and staff safe in schools.
