While citizens need to be civil to legislators, legislators should also be respectful of the citizens who come to the Capitol. The legislature has been in session for two months, and now the House K-12 Education Budget Committee has given about 24 hours notice for the submission of testimony on two different very important education bills. The first one was 61 pages and was introduced while many of the state’s public education supporters were on spring break. If that was not intentional, it was at least disrespectful of the rights of citizens to participate in the process.
We submitted testimony against this bill and believe the proper path forward at this point is to fund the inflation adjustment and otherwise leave the current funding formula alone.
