The House Education Committee advanced several bills this evening.
House Bill 5669 would establish Raylee’s law. This law would temporarily prohibit someone from homeschooling their child if there is a pending child abuse or neglect investigation against a parent or guardian. This bill was advanced through the process after the rule was suspended. This bill was reported to the Judiciary.
Senate Bill 155 would allow an individual with an adjunct teaching permit to be able to be hired to fill a vacant teacher position. This bill was advanced to markup and discussion.
Senate Bill 694 would remove the residency requirement for the county superintendent of a school and allow counties to use their discretion when making a contract with a new superintendent. This bill was advanced to markup and discussion.
Senate Bill 802 would create Leave Teachers Alone (LTA) days. This bill would allow teachers to have two noninstructional days, which would allow them to be able to be in their classrooms to work and not be disturbed by administrators.
