Hi all, two questions.

First, is it still accurate that state drone fleets have been grounded due to December's FCC covered list addition of foreign made drones? My source is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK31qL40p6I

Second, Can someone explain to me WHY the states' drones are grounded, given they are models that were authorized prior to the FCC's December ruling?

I should add that its my understanding that this is due to governments, agencies, and organizations receiving federal funding. What I'm really trying to figure out is if a US public school can, at this moment, purchase, register, and fly a DJI drone for educational purposes? And if so, would they have to ensure the funding source is not a federal grant?
