Good Morning
On Thursday, the Senate Education Committee deferred action on SB 361, which would remove eligibility for students who attended a public school that received a letter grade of “C” and restrict the eligibility of students entering kindergarten. We had a strong contingent of parents in attendance, with several testifying against the legislation.
Have a great weekend. – Paul
