Vic's Statehouse Notes #273 (Part 1) - February 6, 2017

TUESDAY CALL TO ACTION
Call before February 8

Vote Yes on SB276
  
Dear Friends,
 
In its meeting last Tuesday (Jan. 31), the House Education Committee passed the biggest K-12 voucher expansion since the 2013 session.

This voucher expansion is in a high profile bill to expand pre-kindergarten, House Bill 1004.
 
Senate Bill 276 also expands pre-kindergarten but without expanding vouchers. SB 276 deserves your active support while HB 1004 deserves your active opposition.
 
I urge all public school advocates to contact members of the Senate Education Committee before they vote on Wednesday February 8th (1:30pm) to support Senate Bill 276 as it stands with no link to K-12 vouchers.
 
The members of the Senate Education Committee are:
 
Republican Senators Kruse, Raatz, Bassler, Crane,  Freeman, Kenley, Leising and Zay
 
Democratic Senators Melton, Mrvan and Stoops
