Governor Scott: We Need to Help Teachers Reduce Needless Paperwork and Regulations; Will Form Group of Superintendents to Recommend Unnecessary Requirements to Eliminate

TALLAHASSEE, FL – During today’s Cabinet meeting, Governor Rick Scott made the following statement:

“We heard many great suggestions from teachers and administrators during our education listening tour on how we can make changes at the state level to reduce unnecessary requirements and regulations so they can spend more time in the classroom teaching.

“Today, I am announcing that we will convene a group of five superintendents, representing both large and small districts, to give us their suggestions on the unnecessary red tape and regulations we can cut at the state level in order to increase classroom time for Florida students. Our education initiatives must focus on better preparing students for college and careers and we want suggestions on how to eliminate anything that is a hurdle to that goal.”
