Education Committee

March 19th, 2013 by flanews

The House Education Appropriations Subcommittee passed several bills today in Tallahassee.

The Parent Trigger bill would allow parents to petition their kids failing school to have it turned over to a charter company. An anti-bullying bill also passed the subcommittee. It requires schools to update their anti-bullying policy to include cyber bullying. Legislation to allow illegal immigrants to pay instate tuition rates if they graduated from a Florida high school passed with Chairman Eric Fresen’s support.

“I think it’s important. I think it is common sense for us to allow our students who have gone through our public school system to be able to continue in our public school system,” said Fresen.

Another bill passed the committee that would designate September as American Founders month. It would allow the governor to issue a proclamation urging schools to teach students about the country’s founding fathers.
