Statement by Governor Charlie Crist Regarding Florida’s New Education Commissioner
"I applaud the State Board of Education for selecting Dr. Eric J. Smith as Florida’s next Commissioner of Education. Dr. Smith began his career as an educator in Florida and since then has proven his leadership ability again and again by repeatedly increasing student learning and achievement.
“His emphasis on improving reading performance and enhancing course offerings shows that Dr. Smith can effectively address the needs of all students. I am confident that under his leadership, we will ensure that every Florida student has the opportunity to receive a year’s worth of learning in a year’s worth of time.”
