SB 6 is a punitive measure that subjects teachers to being fired each year based on their students' scores on one annual exam.
SB 6 is an unfunded mandate that will cost Duval County up to $62 million to implement. (The mandatory 5% budgetary set aside is $42 million while development of end of course exams will cost between $12 and 20 million.)
Vetoing SB 6 will send a clear message to lawmakers that they must collaborate with all stakeholders--teachers, parents, and school boards--in order to create true education reform. Our state's failure to collaborate with stakeholders was a key reason we did not receive federal Race To the Top funds.

This was such a corrupted, rushed-through bill. I'm so glad Governor Crist turned on his former party and vetoed the bill. Now he is party-less! The sacrifices one must make to do the right thing.
