CAPE CORAL, Fla. (FOX 13) - In another reversal of former Florida Gov. Scott's policies, Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered an end to Common Core-type educational standards in Florida.
DeSantis executive order directs Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran to develop a road map for a new way to educate the sunshine states students.
Florida moved to a Common Core-type system under former Gov. Rick Scott, a change aimed at matching standards for other students in the U.S.
State leaders made some tweaks to Common Core, and re-branded it as Florida Standards but they remain very similar to Common Core.

DeSantis has wasted no time since taking office. I like that!
Just so long as they go back to common sense education that worked and not another repackage of CC.
Kicking BUTT
Hmm, what evilness will replace it?
(That's the kind of headline I'd like to see.)
agreed, steve; Trump should have given the Dems the blitzkrieg beginning the day he took office. That was his first mistake.
Florida Man is the result of climate change, along with every thing else, scientists say....LOL
Juan Ellis Bush! ain’t gonna be happy.
I wish DeSatis was my governor instead of dim wit Islee...
Awesome. So far this guy is all win.
Best news I've heard all week.
I am glad we got DeSantis instead of Obama’s favorite Andrew Gillum who is now going to join CNN. I have a feeling he is being cultivated for future commie endeavors.
One thing is necessary is for public schools to start expelling and disciplining dirt bag students regardless of race or ethnicity. They want to let animals run wild because they're afraid someone will yell, "racist!!"
In Texas, we never went with Common Core. We weren’t that dumb. (instead we just did it under a different name)
The Florida educational bureaucracy will simply change the name. It will still be very much in force.
Most people think it is the Federal government that runs education. No, there are fifty state educational bureaucracies that are all Leftists running public education and they are not about to change. They could have stopped Common Core from the very start if they had wanted to.
Great start so far hope he doesn’t get turned sooner or later. Also hope he does something to about the election bs of 2018.
Golum will replace Van Jones “Green Czar” as the new shiny object at CNN.
Common Core has been around long enough there may not be enough teachers qualified to teach real math
Corrected the new shiny BLACK object at CNN.
