In what his opponent called a "referendum" on Indiana's education overhaul, GOP incumbent Tony Bennett's re-election bid for a second term as state superintendent fell short after he captured just 48 percent of the vote. A former science teacher and schools administrator, Bennett won the post of Superintendent of Public Instruction in 2008, running
Just one day after the governing board of PARCC met in Washington, DC last week to “take key votes, announce field testing plans, and give progress updates,” Florida’s education commissioner Tony Bennett – a member of that governing board - joined Governor Rick Scott in a meeting with 40 state teachers of the year. The Florida Current reports that Bennett said this at that meeting with teachers:
“The implication of Common Core will be one of the largest policy implications lifts the states have engaged in the history of education,” Bennett said during the talk with about 40 teachers. “In the very near short-term we’re going to have to make some decisions about what will be the assessment regimen for Common Core — if you were going to ask me what is item No. 1 for the next 30 to 60 days, that’s item No. 1.”
While it’s unclear whether or not Bennett was in DC or on video conference, it’s clear that what transpired at the PARCC meeting in DC greatly influenced what he told Florida
