As the newest "Education Governor", Scott showed he was faithfully following the policies of the original "Education Governor", Jeb Bush. By choosing to make one of his PR appearances at a charter school, Scott gave us insight into how the next 4 or 8 years would go for education in our state, despite the fact that there is a stellar public school, Paxon SAS, only a mile up the street from KIPP that he could have visited.
