After saying they wouldn’t be addressing school funding until after a constitutional amendment the Senate passed their bill with wholly inadequate funding (about half of what the House bill provides). Sen. Wagle reportedly told committee chairs she’d take away their chairmanships if they voted against the bill. The House and Senate versions will now go to a conference committee. In the past, we have not been happy with bills coming out of conference committee so we will be watching very carefully and recommend you do as well.
