Bush visits Ga., encourages education reform

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is encouraging Georgia lawmakers to enact the education reforms he established while in office.

Bush visited Atlanta as part of a nationwide tour with his Foundation for Excellence in Education to tout the changes he made in Florida, which ranged from giving extra funding to schools based on an A-through-F grading system to making it easier for charter schools to open in the state.

Bush has joined forces with The Heritage Foundation, a conservative D.C.-based think tank, and visited cities across the country.
