The Senate Ways & Means Committee has pulled two "title only" bills from last year's vault and scheduled them for a public hearing today at 1:30 p.m.
As advertised, the public hearing is on the "proposed substitute." SB 5895 is the Governor's TPEP bill (SB 6177); SB 5896 is the business-backed reform bill on teacher and principal evaluations (SB 6203). WSSDA was supportive of the Governor's bill and supported elements of the reform bill.
In addition, the budget committee has scheduled SB 6377, which would eliminate funding requirements for I-728 (class size) and I-732 (COLAs), and SB SB 6567, which appears to exempt state funding allocations of K-12 spending from I-601 expenditure limits.
