FL Education Commissioner On The Way Out

Florida Department of Education

Word is that Florida Education Commissioner Tony Bennett, who only started serving in January, is on the way out. A scandal involving grade adjustment for a particular school in Indiana where he was the former state Education Commissioner sealed his fate after it was first reported by The Associated Press.

As Gov. Rick Scott hopes to serve another term as governor, his focus has been on education of late, and Bennett apparently has to go.  Now the pressure will be on Gov. Scott to find a replacement for Bennett. 

I love telling stories about my home state. And I hope they will help you in some way and maybe even lift your spirits.
