That's not the parent trigger. That's Trigger, who helped Roy Rogers get around.<\/p><\/div>\n

Gov. Scott has been talking about education a lot recently.<\/p>\n

Analysts say it’s an issue that might play well for his reelection.<\/a><\/p>\n

But there’s a conspicuous absence from the education agenda he released Thursday: The parent trigger.<\/p>\n

Last year the parent trigger was the most devisive education issue of the Legislative session. The bill died on the session’s final day<\/a> when a sponsor turned against the bill, resulting in a tie vote.<\/p>\n

The bill would allow the majority of parents at chronically failing schools to decide how to restructure the schools. That can include closing the school, firing the principal and\/or staff or converting to a charter school.<\/p>\n

Supporters, such as former Gov. Jeb Bush, say the bill will be back this year<\/a>. And political groups, such as StudentsFirst, have staff in Florida working on the issue.<\/p>\n

Those opposing the parent trigger are getting ready as well.<\/p>\n

If a governor is using education to help broaden his appeal, staying away from the parent trigger might be a wise idea. Instead, Scott is focusing on increasing the number of students who can enroll in charter schools.<\/p>\n
