Two study resolutions, intended to review the state’s education system, came before the Senate education in brief meeting, Thursday afternoon.
Both resolutions, which are being sponsored by members of the committee, were reported to the full Senate with the recommendation of passage.
Sen. Rollan Roberts, R-Raleigh, sponsor of one resolution, spoke in favor of the proposed legislation, explaining it’s objective of studying the state’s current education system.
According to the Senator, the resolution would seek to challenge the state’s decreasing enrollment by studying the current system in place and examine the possibility of reducing the state into 17 school districts.
“[Our state] keeps struggling with many factors of our education system,” Roberts said. “Hopefully this could aid in setting us on the right track.”
The second resolution proposed by the committee is intended to study the requirement provision of adequate mental health/counseling services to students across the state.
