A
E
B
E
B
A
Huff
present
we
do
have
a
quorum
and
duly
constituted
to
do
business.
We'll
begin
this
morning
with
house
bill,
639
and
act
relating
to
school
population
changes
and
making
appropriation
there
for
and
declaring
that
as
an
emergency
as
well.
If
representative
tipton
would
please
go
to
the
table
with
your
guest

and
guest
and
members
make
sure
that
your
mic
is
on,
so
we
can
hear
each
of
you
please
get
started,
introduce
yourself
and
you
may
proceed.
F
Madam
chair,
we
we
often
talk
about
simple
bills
around
here,
and
this
legislation
is
actually
less
than
one
page
long,
but
it's
anything
but
a
simple
bill.
And
let
me
give
you
a
little
background
about
house
bill
639.
F
Situations
where
they
had
a
drop
in
their
average
daily
attendance.
Madam
chair,
you
worked
on
this
a
couple
years
ago
and
we
we
based
their
ada
on
the
2018-2019
primary,
I
believe
or
1920.
As
I
recall,
we
have
extended
that
up
to
the
point
that
we're
we're
getting
ready
to
get
out
of
colvit
and
actually
the
the
ada
numbers
for
23.24.
F
F
So
there
is
an
appropriation
of
12
million
500
000
to
address
those
districts
that
have
growth,
there's
also
the
districts
who
have
had
loss
and
as
as
we
looked
at
this
legislation,
and
I
had
to
make
some
policy
decisions
in
the
bill
if
we
had
if
we
had
compensated
every
district
for
every
amount
of
loss
they
had
based
on
the
current
law,
we
would
have
been
looking
at
about
39
million
dollars
for
that
cost.
A
I
Thank
you,
representative
tipton.
This
will
also
benefit
our
schools
that
were
impacted
by
the
tornadoes.
Am
I
correct,
because
we
have
seen
where
those
students
have
moved
out,
we
don't
know
for
sure
exactly
where
they
have
lo
relocated.
This
this
will
benefit
those
school
districts
as
well.
Am
I
correct.
F
E
E
E
G
C
E
E
F
A
A
A
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
bobby
mccool
district
97,
state
representative,
the
committees
of
just
working
with
the
universities,
kind
of
changes,
some
dates,
that's
more
pliable
to
them
and
also
just
make
some
adjustments
that
way
so
and
they
got
their
support.
It's
really
committed
sub
is
really
more
of
the
bill.
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
a.
This
is
a
bill
that
actually
will
cost
no
or
very
little
money
at
all.
I
don't
think
it
costs
anything
to
to
implement,
but
it
could
save
millions
of
dollars
if
we've
seen
sometimes
when
a
university
may
get
into
some
financial
difficulties
because
it
will
catch
it
early
and
all
it
requires
is
from
the
president
and
and
the
chair
of
the
board
to
sign
a
statement
every
year
that
they're
financially
stable
and
provide
that
documentation.
G
Now
that
could
happen
where
a
university
may
or
college
and
anything
that
falls
under
the
council.
Post-Secondary
education
could
could
cease
some
financial
difficulties
one
year,
but
at
least
we
would
know
that
early
and
those
adjustments
can
be
made
collectively,
using
certainly
to
the
council
post-secondary
education.
G
So
hopefully,
as
you
know,
we've
had
a
incident
this
past
year,
where
we
had
to
come
up
with
23
million
dollars
to
help
out
a
university
that
is
very
needed
in
our
state,
and
we
need
to
continue
doing
that
and
I
hope
that
we
will.
But
hopefully
this
will
prevent
something
like
this
from
ever
occurring
again.
G
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
had
some
comments.
I
want
to
thank
representative
mccool
for
bringing
this
legislation
for
it.
He
and
I
have
been
discussing
this
issue
for
for
quite
some
time
and
as
he
mentioned,
we
obviously
have
the
situation
with
kentucky
state
university
and
we
don't
want
to
have
any
of
our
post-secondary
institutions
get
in
a
situation
like
this
in
the
future.
It
does
provide
them
with
an
added
sense
of
accountability.
F
K
Thank
you,
aaron
thompson,
council
on
post
secondary
education.
I
will
just
say
this
covers
the
privates.
Also
we
we
license
80
privates
a
lot
of
people,
don't
know
that
cpe
not
only
coordinates
the
publics
and
have
some
governing
powers
over
the
publics,
but
we
have
privates,
and
so
this
is
an
issue
for
higher
education
in
our
state.
It's
not
just
the
publics.
We've
closed.
I
mean
two
privates
have
closed
in
the
last
many
years.
So,
representative
mccool,
I
thank
you
for
this
bill.
E
E
C
F
F
E
A
A
Following
our
agenda
today,
we
will
next
year
senate
bill
nine
and
act
relating
to
early
literacy
education
and
make
an
appropriation
thereof.
If
senator
west
would
please
come
to
the
table
with
any
guests
that
you
have
joining
you
and
if
each
individual
would
introduce
themselves
for
the
record
you're
free
to
proceed.
L
Good
morning,
thank
you,
chairman
chairwoman,
huff
for
allowing
us
to
present
senate
bill
9.
senate
bill.
9
is
a
companion
bill
to
house
bill
226
and
I
believe
there
there's
committee
sub
that
needs.
L
Yes,
ma'am.
The
committee
sub
basically
includes
the
language
from
house
bill
93,
which
includes
the
read
to
achieve
monies
and
and
helps
protect
those.
So
what
you
have
before
you
is
the
same
work
product
that
representative
tipton
had
226
plus
23..
We.
A
L
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
do
something
a
little
bit
different
today
than
we've
done
in
the
past.
I'm
not
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about
the
bill.
This
this
bill
has
been
before
this
committee
several
different
times
over
the
last
three
or
four
years.
L
L
Senate
bill
9
is
a
culmination
of
three
or
four
years
work
and
the
delay.
This
is
one
of
those
situations
where
the
delay
in
the
process
and
not
getting
the
bill
through
the
first
time.
L
I
really
think
has
made
this
a
better
bill
and
a
good
work
product
and-
and
it
doesn't
hurt
that
that
it
if
it's
passed
this
year,
it
may
be
passed
in
a
year
where
we
actually
have
money.
So
that's
really
really
helpful,
but
this
is
not
my
bill.
This
is
not
senator
west
bill.
This.
This
is
a
work
product
of
this
core
group
and,
if
you
would
everyone
introduce
yourself
for
the
record.
L
And
we
had
several
other
people
help
along
the
way,
chuck
truesdell
and
joe
burks
on
senate
staff,
but
we've
we've
taken
a
deep
dive
over
the
last
three
or
four
years
to
get
this
bill
to
where
it
is
before.
I
turn
it
over
just
a
couple,
quick
things
in
my
opinion,
obviously
I'm
a
little
bit
biased,
but
if
we
as
a
legislature
want
return
on
investment,
this
is
the
best.
This
bill
is
the
best
way
to
do
it.
The
amount
of
money
we
will
put
in
and
the
return
we
will
get
will
be
incredible.
L
I
really
think
coming
out
of
covid
we're
going
to
have
some
really
horrible
numbers,
as
it
pertains
to
early
literacy
and
reading
this
bill
is
a
way
the
quickest
way
to
get
us
back.
The
other
direction
going
the
right
way,
and
then
this
is
a
bill
about
generational
change,
generational
change
and
it's
it's
just
a
very
common
sense
thing.
L
If
kids
know
how
to
read
by
third
grade,
it
changes
the
trajectory
of
their
life
forever
and
states
book
prison
beds
by
the
their
fourth
grade
reading
levels,
and
so
if
we
have
a
high
reading
level
by
third
grade,
hopefully
we
can
turn
that
around
and
change.
A
D
More
a
comment
than
a
question:
if
that's
okay,
that's
fine!
So
I
teach
reading
every
day
that
I'm
in
the
classroom-
and
I
wouldn't
say
desperate,
but
I'm
I'm
aching
for
more
training
on
how
to
be
better
at
teaching
reading.
So
I'm
so
grateful
for
this
bill.
D
I'm
grateful
for
the
budget
that
there
may
be
money
to
pay
for
the
bill
and-
and
I
just
welcome
with
open
arms
an
opportunity
to
become
better
at
my
trade
at
my
profession
through
the
work
of
this
bill,
and
I
appreciate
each
and
every
one
of
you.
Thank
you.
F
E
F
She
has
sent
me
volumes
of
information
on
this
subject
and
I
just
want
to
thank
her
for
her
support
in
getting
this
legislation
to
where
it
is
now.
She
we
did
mention
the
funding.
When
I
talked
about
house
bill
226.
I
mentioned
that
in
the
house
version
of
the
budget
there
was
11
million
dollars
in
each
year
of
the
budget.
The
senate
kept
that
language
in
so
they
also
have
the
11
million
in
each
year
of
the
budget
and
and
the
kde
is
my
understandings
going
to
commit
10
million
dollars
from
arba
funding.
L
If
I
could,
madam
chair,
I
would
like
to
echo
the
comments
senator
representative
tipton
representative
bojanowski
has
worked
closely
with
us
and
she
she
is
actually
she
is
boots
on
the
ground.
She
works
in
this
area
every
day
and
provided
a
lot
of
good
material
for
us
as
the
process
went
along.
Thank
you.
A
C
Briefly,
explain
my
vote.
I'd
like
to
thank
central
west
and
represent
tipton
representative
bojanowski.
Everybody
was
involved
in
this
bill.
Obviously,
we've
gone
through
some
difficult
times
and
we
as
central
west
mentioned
reading
scores,
are
going
to
go
down.
It's
not
anybody's
fault,
it's
just
the
way
it
is,
but
we've
got
to
do
what
we
can
to
recover.
C
F
E
A
A
L
A
A
A
E
He
is
the
main
part,
I'm
just.
A
E
You,
madam
chairman,
my
name,
is
jason
howell,
I'm
senate
district
for
first
senate
district.
I
just
wanted
to
get
my
first
time
in
in
front
of
you
guys
with
education
here
appreciate
you
having
me
representative,
riley,
and
I've
worked
on
this
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
him
to
explain
the
deal.
C
A
A
J
J
My
name
is
gay
edelman,
I'm
with
dearjcps.
N
O
There
you
go,
my
name
is
dartanya
hill,
I'm
in
seventh
grade
a
student
at
w
e
b,
the
boys
academy,
and
I'm
also
with
justice
league
hello.
J
So
I'd
like
to
start
by
just
mentioning
that
this
morning,
because
we
live
in
jefferson
county,
we
got
up
and
left
our
house
around
6
45.
It
was
still
dark
out
and
along
the
way,
I
passed
a
bus
of
jefferson
county
students
that
was
full
of
students,
because
their
morning
begins
that
early
as
well,
and
even
if
they
had
breakfast
at
home
by
the
time
they've
made
that
bus
right
across
town
and
gotten
into
their
classrooms.
J
Even
if
their
bus
isn't
late,
they
may
still
need
another
breakfast,
because
I
know
I've
been
running
around
this
morning,
trying
to
find
some
food,
and
I
know
how
hard
it
is
to
concentrate
when
you're
hungry
like
I
am
right
now.
So
I
would
like
to
say
that
we're
I'm
in
favor
of
this
bill.
Obviously
we're
not
going
we're
not
here
to
split
the
baby,
but
what
we
really
want
to
be
talking
about
is
how
did
we
get
here
and
I'm
I'm
to
understand
that
these
students
had
to
wait
a
year?
J
These
teachers
had
to
wait
a
whole
year
for
this
bill
to
even
be
heard
just
so
they
can
have
15
minutes
for
kids
to
eat.
You
know.
So
what
are
we
doing?
That
has
created
an
environment
that
teachers
have
to
advocate
for
15
minutes
to
feed
their
students
instead
of
treating
them
like
the
professionals
that
they
are
and
letting
them
make
these
types
of
decisions
without
being
micromanaged
to
the
point
where
we're
having
to
bring
it
all
the
way
to
the
state
to
beg
for
this
time.
Instead,
we
should
be
talking
about
root
cause
issues.
J
How
do
we
address
the
amount
of
time
students
spend
on
the
bus?
How
do
we
adjust
their
bell
schedule
so
that
they're
getting
appropriate
timing
for
when
they
learn
best
and
when
they
perform
best?
And
so
you
know
we,
we
heard
that
the
charter
school
bill
might
be
coming
out
of
house
at
a
r
committee,
but
then
that
meeting's
been
cancelled.
So
you
know
we.
J
We
want
you
to
understand
how
these
bills
harm
us
and
stop
trying
to
put
the
same
police
that
killed
brianna
taylor
and
that
exploited
our
students
in
our
schools
with
weapons
and
I'm
going
to
speak
to
the
bill.
I'm
going
to
stop
and
let
the
students,
let
you
hear,
from
the
students
that
are
impacted
by
these
bills
as
well.
Thank
you.
M
First,
I
would
like
to
say
something
so:
I'm
an
educator
of
19
years,
I've
been
at
five
different
schools
and
I've
never
seen
in
a
situation
where
a
student
wasn't
allowed
to
bring
their
breakfast
to
class
or
eat
during
homeroom
or
first
period
if
they
needed
to.
I
understand
that
there
are
some
schools,
apparently
that
won't
do
that,
but
at
the
same
time,
if
that
type
of
behavior
is
happening
in
the
school
system,
that
speaks
to
a
larger
issue,
it's
it
almost
feels
like
that's
symptomatic,
but
what
is
the
root
cause?
M
What
is
the?
What
is
the
the
the
culture?
That's
I
don't
know
if
I
don't
hear
that
that's
being
addressed.
Also
with
regard
to
I
was
thinking
about,
I
love
the
the
you
know.
Reading
is
fine,
but
I
I
heard
something
very
powerful
about
the
pre-k.
Pre-K
is
so
underfunded.
That
is
the
essence
of
what
needs
to
be
addressed,
not
additional
professional
development
of
literacy.
M
Duly
noted,
however,
this
adding
breakfast
is
just
putting
a
band-aid
on
a
bullet
wound.
It's
really.
What
is
the
culture
and
the
attitude
towards
students
where's?
What's
that
all
about
not
forcing
someone
to
give
a
child
breakfast,
because
after
they
get
that
breakfast
at
these
cruel
type
of
schools,
that
student
still
has
to
deal
with
those
type
of
teachers
throughout
their
entire
educational
career?
N
I
can
say
from
experience
that
I
have
witnessed
some
of
these
cruel
schools
that
don't
allow
me
to
take
breakfast
to
class
whenever,
like
my
hard-working
mother,
whenever
she
was
taking
me
to
school,
I
know
she
always
had
to
rush
around
me
and
my
other
siblings,
and
sometimes
I
didn't
always
get
to
school
on
time.
N
So
whenever
I
got
to
school
and
I
wasn't
allowed
to
just
eat
breakfast-
and
you
know
just
fill
up
my
stomach
and
stuff,
it
has
an
impact
on
my
energy
and
sometimes
when
I'm
on
low
energy.
I
can't
concentrate
so
in
a
way.
It
impacts
my
educational
career
too.
So
that's
just
all.
I
have
to
say.
O
O
I've
always
been
able
to
go
to
the
classroom,
eat
breakfast
and
you
know,
while
the
teacher
was
instructed
like
was
still
going
on
with
the
lesson
and
that
helped
because
I
was
late
my
bus
most
times
it
was
me
not
waking
up
on
time,
and
I
couldn't
I
didn't,
set
my
alarm
clock
right
or
whatever
the
excuse
was,
and
I
was
able
to
go
into
the
cafeteria
grab
my
breakfast
and
eat
and
everything
my
energy
started
to
perk
up,
and
I
was
waking
up
more
so
it
did
help.
J
If
I
could
just
wrap
up,
we
brought
a
copy
of
some
bills
that
have
been
introduced
in
indiana,
that
put
a
gag
put
a
stop
to
the
gag
orders
on
settlements
so
that
we
can
get
to
some
of
the
root
causes.
A

No
ma'am
I
just
one
thing
I'd
like
to
mention
is
that
this
problem
has
been
exasperated
by
by
the
lack
of
bus
drivers.
I
think
that's
been
an
issue
that
that's
caused
this
to
be
even
more
prominent.
I
think
representative
timoney
could
have
attested
that
with
his
role-
and
you
know,
I
just
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
this
is,
and
I
think,
like
one
of
the
young
men
said,
I
think
this
is
happening
in
most
schools
anyway.
I
think
most
schools
are
allowing
students
to
do
this.

Briefly,
explain
my
look
proceed.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
a
yesterday.
This
is
an
outstanding
bill.
I
support
it.
100
percent
message
to
superintendents
and
school-based
parents.
There
are
nationwide
programs
breakfast
in
the
classroom
that
have
been
adopted
in
number
of
schools
that
have
really
helped
facilitate
this
and
really
kind
of
answered
a
lot
of
the
questions,
those
that
people
who
previously
presented
had
about
feeding
kids
before
the
school
day
but
outstanding
bill.
Thank
you
for
bringing
it
forward.
