District staff report two pending state amendments that could remove school-district language
Summary
District staff told the board they and lobbyists had contacted lawmakers about two pending amendments—one in the House and one in the Senate—that the presenter said would remove school districts from a provision; the speaker did not specify bill numbers or the exact statutory language affected.
District staff reported at the June 2 workshop that recent statewide legislative activity includes two pending amendments — one in the House and one in the Senate — that the presenter said would remove school districts from a provision relevant to the district.
The presenter said staff and lobbyists made calls and spoke with lobbyist Andrew Lieber and other lawmakers as part of the response. "There are 2 amendments, 1 in the house, 1 in the Senate to remove school districts," the presenter said. The speaker did not provide bill numbers or the precise statutory language the amendments would change.
Board members reacted positively to news of broader statewide engagement but no formal action or vote occurred; staff did not provide a legislative text or timeline at the workshop. The board adjourned at 9:20 a.m.
Staff and board members said they will continue monitoring the bills and report back when the district has specific bill numbers or text to review.
