When President Barack Obama adopted a policy last year aimed at allowing some young, undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States, he likely didn't know it would cause heartburn for Gov. Rick Scott about a year later.

The "deferred action" program didn't give citizenship or permanent-resident status to anyone living illegally in the country, but it did grant two-year nondeportation promises to undocumented immigrants under 30 who met certain conditions.

Education Commissioner Tony Bennett is mulling a reorganization of the state Department of Education, but the project has been slowed by laws that spell out the responsibilities of some positions at the agency.

It's not clear how wide-ranging Bennett's plans for the department are, in part because the commissioner admitted to being surprised by the legal hurdles to overhauling the agency. But Bennett wants the State Board of Education to sign off on the plan at its September meeting, clearing the way for the changes to begin by October or November.
