(CNN) Florida's second-largest school district said it will withdraw its mask mandate after the governor threatened to withhold funding from districts that require face coverings. South Florida's Broward County Public Schools had announced last week that the district would require everyone in their buildings to wear masks to guard against Covid-19. That came after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance recommending everyone in K-12 schools wear a mask regardless of vaccination status. "Broward County Public Schools intends to comply with the governor's latest executive order," the school district said in an online statement released this week. The Broward County school board had voted July 28 to mandate masks.
