From an article at the Miami Herald, when the Lee County school board DECIDED to opt out:

“At the Wednesday meeting, board members Tom Scott and Mary Fischer voted with Armstrong, a decision that was met with cheers and applause from red-clad supporters who packed the house for the meeting. Fischer was initially leery of the idea, but served as the tie-breaker Wednesday.”

I cannot tell, but it sounds as though Fischer’s mind was changed for today’s vote.

I was right. Fischer folded:

“The motion was originally passed by board members Mary Fischer, Chairman Tom Scott and Don Armstrong, but Fischer called for a rescission meeting after further thought.”
