Education committee delays consideration of multiple bills, including school-closure measure
Summary
The Education Committee postponed work on several bills — including 1387, a proposal to close schools on election day — and agreed to reconvene next week for additional information and attendance by certain senators.
The Education Committee met for a brief session and agreed to postpone consideration of multiple bills until next week, including bill 1387, described in the meeting as a proposal to close schools on election day.
Committee members said several items would be held for additional information or for the attendance of specific senators. Senator Gearhart said, "I think I'd like to hold till next week, on any of the ones on, on 1404." Committee members also indicated that items listed as "12:23" and "12:47" would be put on hold for now.
During the discussion the committee identified specific items by short descriptions rather than detailed summaries. Committee members described 1387 as "the school closure on election day." They also referred to a scholarship measure identified as 1404, a "10-year" bill cited as "14 30 7," and a reciprocity measure spoken as "14 60 4" (committee members also referenced the number "1064" while clarifying the reciprocity item). Members said they were not ready to act on the reciprocity measure and that additional information or the presence of Senator Hackman was needed for some items.
No formal votes were recorded in the transcript. The session concluded with members agreeing to postpone further work until next week and the committee adjourning.
