Gov. Rick Scott doubled digital learning

During his 2014 re-election campaign, Gov. Rick Scott made several education-related promises including that he would double digital learning initiatives for K-12

He wanted more money for projects such as improving school district information technology infrastructure, increasing bandwidth and providing computers for students.

Scott requested doubling the amount for digital learning from $40 million to $80 million in his 2015-16 budget proposal. But the Legislature approved a smaller increase for a total of $60 million.

The amount grew to $80 million for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 fiscal years.

It then dropped down to $70 million for 2018-19, the last budget over which he has influence.

Scott was able to get the Legislature to double the original amount for two legislative sessions. As he leaves office, funding is 75 percent higher than when he started his second term.

That's enough to give Scott a Promise Kept.
