You can read the full bill and see its co-sponsors at the General Assembly website. The Senate Education Committee votes tomorrow, Wednesday afternoon on this money grab. Please contact members of the committee and tell them to vote NO! Tell them to start holding the public school bureaucracy accountable for the billions of dollars we already spend on education in the state.
