Update at 11:40 pm Monday, March 25th: Despite the fact that 0 districts and 0 education advocates voiced support of the bad education policy bill (House Substitute for SB 16), it has gained favorable approval 63-60. Final vote tomorrow. This is a narrow margin, so if you haven’t contacted your legislator yet, do so tonight or tomorrow morning. They’ll also probably take up the funding bill (which we also oppose) when they resume at 11 am tomorrow. Originally posted to Facebook on 03/25/2019....
