Is there a statue in the state of Florida that determine when a school bus is not to be driven during high winds? If so, what is the wind speed and does it varies by school districts?

The current rule, I believe, is 40 mph. I don't think it's a statute, but a DOE rule and it should be statewide, if in fact that's the case.

here in Alaska, the wind has to knock out the power to cancle school. i've driven to and from school in winds of 35-40 sustained and gusts up to 110mph. the only variable is if it is winter and the wind chill gets below -40F

I say "Good Morning" and call them by name,and in return I'm told the same,they go sit down and think of a rule to break,but are quickly subdued when warned of the actions I'll take. They've learned to follow the rules can be safe and can be fun........and after the high schoolers it will be the elementary run!
