Gerard Robinson, Virginia's secretary of education, was tapped this morning to be Florida's next education commissioner.
The state Board of Education voted unanimously to hire Robinson, who before his appointment in Virginia worked for a group that advocates for school choices outside traditional public schools.
Robinson, 43, who would succeed Eric Smith, has to negotiate a salary and a start date before accepting the job. He could not be reached this morning but told the board he could not begin work in Tallahassee before Aug.8.
