“We have not had requests for all of that money yet,” [Governor Desantis] said. “Basically, as we field requests, we do it.”

News 6 investigated and found out local school districts have asked for that money, and many are still waiting for it.

Marion County Schools said it was waiting for $56 million, Brevard Public Schools said it was waiting for $48.8 million, Lake County Public Schools was waiting.
