					<description><![CDATA[Richard Corcoran isn&#8217;t backing down from his criticism of local school districts as they continue to face wreduced funding from Tallahassee. In a Sunday Tampa Bay Times column, Joe Henderson took a shot at the House Speaker over the lack of air conditioning in many Hillsborough schools. Henderson describes how the school district has received more than a hundred million dollars less from the Legislature over the past seven years for maintenance on school buildings. And while he doesn&#8217;t reference Corcoran&#8217;s&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Alex Sink made a point to Mitch Perry on FloridaPolitics.com that Democrats may finally have a cause to rally around in this state. She referred to HB 7069 (or, as I like to call it, “The Let’s Bust The Teachers’ Union Act”) pushed through by House Speaker Richard Corcoran and signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott. It is the biggest push yet by the Legislature to expand private charter schools with money from the public education budget. “Do we&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gov. Rick Scott signed a sweeping education bill (HB 7069) that, among other things, sends more public money to privately-run charter schools. The legislation, a top priority for House Speaker Richard Corcoran, also requires recess in elementary schools, makes changes to the state’s standardized testing system, and includes millions of dollars for teacher bonuses. The governor’s decision to sign the bill sparked a reaction from both sides of the issue. — House Speaker Richard Corcoran “Today is a great day&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Florida House is touting the signing of a wide-sweeping education bill with a new video. The nearly 3-minute web video, released ahead of a bill signing event at Morning Star Catholic School in Orlando, features news clips showing parents talking about their children and reporters highlighting the 2015 “Failure Factories” series by the Tampa Bay Times. After the words “failure no more, hope has arrived” flash onto the screen, the video shows footage of Rep. Byron Donalds talking about&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gov. Rick Scott will sign a contentious education policy bill that critics fear will hurt traditional public schools in favor of privately-managed charter schools. The Governor&#8217;s Office on Thursday morning announced he will approve &#8220;a major education bill&#8221; at Morning Star Catholic School in Orlando, &#8220;which serves many children who receive the Gardiner Scholarship,&#8221; one of the programs affected by the legislation. The bill signing is slated for 3:45 p.m., a press release said. It did not mention the bill by name or&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Chalk it up to &#8220;passion.&#8221; Or politics. Gov. Rick Scott, speaking to reporters after a Wednesday bill signing, explained away the open tension between him and House Speaker Richard Corcoran after the House this year tried to gut VISIT FLORIDA and do away with economic development organization Enterprise Florida, his two favored state agencies. By the end of the recent Special Session, however, lawmakers agreed to the creation of an $85 million Florida Job Growth Grant Fund to be controlled by Scott,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A new state senator who is also a prominent trial attorney is telling Gov. Rick Scott to veto a contentious education policy bill, saying it&#8217;s a brew of &#8220;bad policy&#8221; and &#8220;a textbook example of a failure in government transparency.&#8221; Sen. Gary Farmer, a Parkland Democrat, wrote a 2-page letter to Scott Tuesday on HB 7069, which critics have said will benefit charter schools to the detriment of traditional public schools. &#8220;This dreadful piece of legislation, if signed into law,&#8230;]]></description>
