State of Florida
Governor Jeb Bush was elected Florida’s 43rd Governor in 1998, and was re-elected in 2002.
During his two terms, Governor Bush has revolutionized the education system to achieve dramatic rising student achievement, provide substantial, broad based tax relief and economic incentives to strengthen and diversify Florida’s economy, and initiated measures to strengthen families, help the state’s most vulnerable citizens, and protect Florida’s natural resources.
Governor Bush’s “A+ Plan For Education,” established in 1999, raised standards and increased accountability and funding for our public schools.
Under Governor Bush, public school funding during the past seven years has increased by $6.1 billion or 54 percent, and per student funding has increased by $1, 564 or 32 percent.
