Florida education chief resigns after fixing charter school grades for GOP donor

“Florida Commissioner of Education Tony Bennett resigned on Thursday after he was accused of changing a grading system while serving as Indiana school superintendent so that a Republican donor’s charter school would not receive bad marks. An Associated Press report earlier this week found that Bennett had quickly overhauled a school grading system after discovering that high-profile charter school Christel House was expected to receive a ‘C’ grade. Under a revised formula, the school was awarded an ‘A’ grade.  Bennett had left Indiana to take the top education job in Florida in January.”
