The Senate Education Committee met today to discuss two bills.
House Bill 2542 would relate to public higher education personnel and was referred out of the committee with the recommendation that it pass.
Senate Bill 312 would establish a four-year pilot program to have social workers in public schools. The bill was referred as a Senate Concurrent Resolution to a Joint Interim Committee on Education in order to determine the intent and study the bill more thoroughly after a motion from the vice chair of the committee, Senator Karnes (R-Upshur).
