There was much discussion regarding Charter Schools, though new language surfaced just a few hours ago. I have read it and there are real implications for schools in improvement. Stay tuned. Other highlights of my visit include:
- Economist Ira Harvey's prediction of 3 percent proration this fiscal year,
- Governor Robert Bentley's ETF budget proposal that includes a .5 increase in divisors. (It is doubtful that we will see a budget until after the Legislative Break (March 27)), and
- Senator Gerald Dial's bill that includes $100 million in bonds for electronic devices in lieu of textbooks in grades 9-12.
