CAPE CORAL, Fla. (FOX 13) - In another reversal of former Florida Gov. Scott's policies, Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered an end to Common Core-type educational standards in Florida.

DeSantisâ€™ executive order directs Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran to develop a road map for a new way to educate the sunshine stateâ€™s students.

Florida moved to a Common Core-type system under former Gov. Rick Scott, a change aimed at matching standards for other students in the U.S.

State leaders made some tweaks to Common Core, and re-branded it as â€˜Florida Standardsâ€™ but they remain very similar to Common Core.

[...]

â€œOne of the things we would constantly hear about on the campaign trail was a lot of frustration from parents in particular with this idea of Common Core," said Gov. DeSantis. "When you complained... I heard you. I told you I'd do something about it. And today we are acting to bring promises to reality."

DeSantis gave the order to replace Common Core-type standards with a new system that increases the quality of curriculum, and places a higher emphasis on teaching civics.

49 more to go!

It's only 49 in Florida. Everywhere else it is between 18 and 73.4. It all depends on how you feel about the number.
