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\u2019s support.<\/p>\n
