Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled a plan on Thursday that would allow Florida's K-12 schools to reopen in the fall at "full capacity."

DeSantis said plans about exactly how to reopen schools will ultimately be made on the local level.

The governor said opening schools is critical to the success of Florida’s economy, and the plan states “Florida can only hit its economic stride if schools are open.”

The Florida Department of Education released the full plan on its website. To view it, click here.
