Parents of children with disabilities went to a federal appeals court after a judge sided with Gov. Ron DeSantis and rejected a challenge to an executive order aimed at preventing Florida school districts from requiring students to wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The notice, as is common, does not detail arguments that the plaintiffs will make at the Atlanta-based appeals court.
