The Florida Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a bill that would rein in the state’s education accountability system, but not before a showing of Republican outrage and promises that the Legislature’s job of testing reform isn’t done.
Senators voted 32-4 to approve their version of a public-school testing bill (HB 7069), which now returns to the House. It’s not clear whether a series of changes approved Wednesday and Thursday will bridge differences between the two chambers.
