Day 58

Things you need to know:
• 4 Bills Passed Senate Education

Passed Senate Education

HB 2082 junior reserve officer training; CTE (Blackman) passed 8-0. ASBA is neutral.

HB 2119 school safety; reporting (Barto) passed as amended 5-3. ASBA is opposed.

ASBA was neutral on this bill as introduced, however, subsequent amendments now allow SBE to withhold up to 10% of the monthly apportionment of state aid due to a school district that fails to post its policies on mandatory reporting of serious offenses. ASBA always views the withholding of state aid as an inappropriate way to gain compliance with mandates.

HB 2123 TPT; distribution; community college districts (Udall) passed 8-0. ASBA supports.

HCR 2026 English language education; requirements (Fillmore) passed 8-0. ASBA supports.
