Rep. DWIGHT BULLARD Statement Re Florida Education Commissioner Resignation

August 1, 2012 Government No Comments

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 1, 2012

CONTACT: Office of Rep. Dwight Bullard (305) 234-2208

DEMOCRATIC RANKING MEMBER STATEMENT Education Committee, Florida House of Representatives Rep. DWIGHT BULLARD (D-Miami) REGARDING FLORIDA EDUCATION COMMISSIONER RESIGNATION

State Representative Dwight Bullard (D-Miami), the Democratic ranking member on the House Education Committee, issued the following statement regarding Gerard Robinson’s announcement that he will resign as Florida education commissioner on Aug. 31.

“The resignation announcement by Education Commissioner Gerard Robinson should be a clear indicator to the governor and legislative leaders that recent destructive education reform measures and continued reliance on the FCAT are harmful to the morale and productivity of students and teachers. Commissioner Robinson may have started his tenure as education commissioner as a supporter of education reform but he has clearly lost confidence in the direction of Governor Scott.”
