In a state where some public schools have received a failing grade and others are so popular they have waiting lists, Florida Gov. Rick Scott promised during the 2010 campaign to give parents more school options for their children.

"I want to offer parents a menu of options for their children, including but not limited to charter schools, private schools, homeschooling and virtual schools. I want to create an educational program that will allow parents to get creative in how to meet the distinctive needs of their children," he said on his campaign website.

The Scott-O-Meter rated Scott's promise as In the Works on March 24, 2011, when we wrote about two bills winding their way through the state Legislature:

• SB 1550, a pro-voucher measure, would create an "education savings account" for parents they could use at public or private schools.

• HB 1331 would broaden the definition of a struggling school in order to increase the number of students eligible to opt out of those schools.

On May 7, SB 1550 was withdrawn from consideration. The Legislature overwhelmingly approved HB 1331, which was signed into law by Scott June 2.

There were some other bills that related to expanding school choices. Here are the summaries of those bills and their outcomes, from a Miami Herald list summarizing the session. We checked Scott's website showing whether the bills had been signed by the morning of June 10.

• CHARTER SCHOOLS (Passed)

Lifts barriers for charter schools to expand, in part by designating certain schools as "high-performing.” (SB 1546/HB 7195) The Senate website indicates that it passed the Legislature on May 4 but hadn't been sent to Scott's office as of June 10.

• SCHOOL VOUCHERS — FLORIDA TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIPS (Passed)

Removes a limitation on tax credits for companies that fund private-school vouchers for low-income students. (SB 1388/HB 965) Signed by Scott June 2.

• SCHOOL VOUCHERS — MCKAY SCHOLARSHIPS (Passed)

Allows more children to qualify for private-school vouchers under the McKay Scholarship program for students with disabilities. (SB 1656/HB 1329) Signed by Scott June 2.

• SCHOOL VOUCHERS — OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIPS (Passed)

Allows more students to qualify to move to other public schools by expanding the definition of a "failing” school. (SB 1822/HB 1331) Signed by Scott June 2.

• VIRTUAL SCHOOLS (Passed)

Expands online school offerings by allowing more students to enroll in virtual school and letting private companies participate in online education. Requires incoming high school students to take at least one online course before graduating. (SB 1620/HB 7197) Signed by Scott June 2.

During the campaign, Scott said he supported school choice and vouchers. After the campaign, he called for vouchers for everyone but then backed away from that idea. But the Legislature passed several bills that open up more school choice, including helping charter schools expand, paving the way for more students to get certain vouchers and expanding online offerings. Scott has signed most of them, and is expected to sign the charter schools bill when it is presented to him. We rate this Promise Kept.
