Democrats Seek Resignation

July 31st, 2013 by flanews

Several state lawmakers are calling on Governor Rick Scott to request the resignation of Commissioner of Education Tony Bennett.

In a recent Associated Press article, Bennett has been identified in changing grades schools received while he was overseeing Indiana’s Public Schools. The reports say Bennett changed the school accountability system to boost the grade of a charter school owned by an influential Republican party donor.

Democratic Party Chairwoman Allison Tant said there needs to be a high standard of education in Florida, “You can’t have a system of integrity when you change the rules and move the goal posts to suit a particular school.”

The Department of Education has said there are misunderstandings with the changes in Indiana, saying the schools were graded incorrectly because it was a K through 10 school.
