Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Monday signed into law a sweeping education bill that rolls back graduation standards adopted just three years ago. The far-reaching measure also sets the stage for the University of Florida to take the lead in online education in the state. The state’s most prestigious university would gain the right to offer bachelor degrees completely online. Scott predicted the measure would transform education and help high school graduates go down a pathway that would lead to a job. “This legislation will help us take a giant step forward,” Scott said.
