almost
tonight
we
are

What's

first
one
that
we
were
item
number
14
is
off
notice.
A
And
I
believe,

item
number
21
since
it
has
to
do
with
the
bep,
will
be
rolled
to
the
final

until

get
a
chance
to
see
the
formula
that
everyone's
waiting
on
and
we
are
going
to
roll
item
number
one.
A
few
spaces

a
scheduling
us
considerations.
We

going
to

house

D
Thank
you
and
members
what
this
basically
does
in
some
of
our
institute
institutes
of
higher
education.
They
have
training
schools
which
are
on
campus.
They
have
k
through
12
training
schools
originally
designed
to
train
teachers,
but
these
are
k-12s.
What
this
bill
will
will
do
was
allow
them
to
contract
with
an
lea.
The
current
language
says
the
lea,
but
this
will
allow
them
to
contract
with
leads
across
the
state
and
barn.
Any
questions
go
yes
or,
mr

gillespie.
A
Do

Representative
gillespie,
you
are
recognized
on
house
bill,
2166.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
committee.
So
this
bill
was
brought
to
me
by
the
administration
and
what
it's
really
seeking
to
do
is
there
are
a
lot
of
sections
and
code
that
have
been
there
for
a
while.
E
It's
it's
not
quite
a
cleanup
bill,
but
it's
kind
of
that
affect
the
way
the
state
department
of
education
and
local
districts
handle
several
different
matters,
a
lot
of
red
tape
and
different
areas
that
just
honestly
aren't
really
used
anymore
in
you
know,
2022,
and
I
can
go
over
some
specifics
of
those
with
you
if
you'd
like,
but
with
that
I
renew
my
motion.
A
You've
heard
the
explanation:
does
anybody
have
any
questions
for
the
sponsor
seeing
yeah,
seeing
none
we'll
be
voting
on
house
bill
2166,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye,
I
was
supposed
to
say
no
guys
have
it
on
to
full
education.
Thank
you
that
takes
us
to
item
number
three
house
bill
1880
by
chairman
rudd,
properly
motioned,
chairman
rudd.
You
are
recognized
on
house
bill
1880
thank.
A
Right
all
right,
we'll
be
voting
on
drafting
code
amendment
drafting
code,
13
532,
all
those
in
favor
of
this
amendment,
please
say
aye
all
those
opposed
say.
No,
the
eyes
have
it.
We
are
back
on
your
bill
as
amended.
F
What
the
bill
does
is
very
simple,
and
the
amendment
just
clarified
a
couple
items
at
the
suggestion
of
the
chairman.
I
want
to
thank
you,
the
committee
chairman
white,
and
hasten
for
making
suggestions
with
me
on
the
bill.
What
this
bill
does
is,
quite
simply,
it
says
that
three
minutes
at
all
public
meetings
of
all
public
city
and
county
school
boards.
There
will
be
at
least
for
a
public
comment
period
limited
to
education,
business
at
that
business,
meeting
that
the
public
will
have
a
right
to
speak.
F
10
people
have
a
right
to
speak
that
three
minutes
a
piece
at
a
minimum.
The
school
board
is
free
to
set
a
longer
period
if
they
so
choose,
they're,
also
free
to
set
other
rules
and
regulations.
Above
what
the
state
minimum
is.
That's
all
the
bill
does
it's
guarantees
that
all
school
boards
some
public
school
boards
will
have
a
public
comment
period.
A
Thank
you
for
that
explanation,
representative
carringer.
You
have
a
question.
C
I
know
thank
you,
chairman
yeah.
I
just
had
I
had
a
quick
question,
because
you
know
we've
had
a
lot
of
this,
particularly
being
from
knox
county,
a
lot,
a
lot
of
darren,
coven
and
and
school
boards,
and
and
cutting
from
five
minutes
to
three
minutes,
and
I
think
that's
worked
out
very
well
in
knox
county.
C
I
guess
my
real
question
is:
is
this
just
our
our
school
board
meets
twice
a
month,
of
course
they
meet
other
times
and
in
terms
of
allowing
anyone
to
speak,
is
it
limited
to
just
the
full
two
sessions
that
the
board
meets,
or
is
it
at
any
of
their
meetings,
or
you
know,
because
a
lot
of
those
meetings
when
you're
talking
about
a
minor
you
know
is
different
different.
C
So
I
was
just
wanting
to
clarify,
because
I
have
several
from
my
board
of
education,
knox,
county
questioning
and
asking
me
about
that,
and
so
just
to
kind
of
get
clarification
and
on
record
exactly
what
meetings
or,
if
is
it
anything
in
any
any
time
that
they
meet
chairman.
F
G
F
The
the
the
amendment
said
it
states
that
the
people
are
able
to
make
a
comment
on
board
business.
They
don't
have
to
be
restricted
to
simply
the
agenda
for
that
particular
meeting
and
they
can
also
submit
their
email
their
comments
in
if
they
wish
to.
F
F
F
I
would
I
would
say
this
chairman
that,
probably
again,
we
didn't
clarify
that
we're
trying
to
leave
the
boards
as
much
latitude
as
possible
to
set
their
own
rules.
Above
this
we
didn't
infringe
on
one
denman
french
on
them
too
much
just
guarantee
a
public's
right
to
speak
since
some
school
boards
cut
that
off
and
didn't
allow
public
comment
in
the
last
year
or
two,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
they're
guaranteed
that
minimal.
F
D
You're
recognized,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
looking
at
the
amendment
as
written
just
make
sure
what
we're
doing
we're
not
causing
confusion.
I
understand
where
you're
coming
from,
and
I
appreciate
it
because
there
have
been
places
where
parents
are
not
on
our
heard.
So
I
understand
that,
but
also
know
how
we
do
business
up
here.
I
don't
want
to
create
confusion,
so
in
section
1
h1,
it
says
a
board
of
education
must
provide
an
opportunity
for
public
comment
at
each
of
the
board.
F
D
D
F
D
F
Again,
the
the
the
it
says
that
a
minimal
10,
10
members,
a
minimum
of
10
members
with
three
minutes
of
peace,
have
a
right
to
speak.
They
can
extend
that
to
two
hour
comment
period.
If
they
want
that's
at
a
minimal,
they
they
get
to
10
up
to
10
people
at
a
minimal,
get
three
minutes
a
piece
to
speak
on
any
topic
related
to
the
laa.
D
So
if
the
board
cuts
it
off
into
10
people
and
everybody
gets
upset
because
normal
speed
do
we
I
mean,
is
it
we've
got
to
have
something
in
writing
control
so
that
doesn't
get
out
of
hand
again
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at
you're
saying
they
have
the
the
right
to
cut
it
off
at
any
point
in
time
after
10.
chairman.
F
That's
correct:
we
left
that
up
to
them
some
some
school
boards
currently
have
an
hour
public
comment
period.
Some
have
30
minutes
some,
don't
some
don't
have
any,
but
most
have
it
in
their
policy
to
have
a
a
public
comment
period.
It's
my
understanding,
most
of
them
that
I'm
aware
of
in
middle
tennessee
it's
an
hour,
but
we
put
a
minimum
of
30
minutes
in
there
or
third,
not
30,
minutes
10
people
speaking
three
minutes
a
piece.
It
could
go
up
to
45
minutes
at
that.
D
Determine
what
okay
and
then
the
last
section,
the
board
of
education
may
provide
an
additional
opportunity
for
the
public
to
comment
at
the
board's
meetings.
Then
the
required
comment
period
established
in
subdivision
h1
is
that
of
the
origin
h1,
okay,
back
up
to
the
top
again.
D
A
A
It
brings
us
to
item
number
four
house
bill
2557
by
chair
lady
moody,
properly
motioned,
cheerleading
moody.
You
are
recognized
on
house
bill,
2557.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
this
refers
to
teaching
family
life
in
our
schools.
So
is
this
an
attempt
to
limit
the
type
of
organization
that
can
teach
family
life
in
our
schools?
Your
lady
moody.
C
H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I'm
concerned
that
you're
trying
to
limit
the
education
of
our
public
school
students
to
one
belief
or
one
way,
of
learning,
as
opposed
to
all
sides
of
learning,
and
I
think
the
type
of
education
given
the
subject
matter
that
you're
focusing
on
here
would
you
are
you
not
concerned
that
you
would
be
limiting
the
educational
opportunities
of
our
public
school
students
and
impacting
their
full
education
and
knowledge
and
better
understanding
of
these
subjects?
Chair
lady
moody.
C
H
Representative
clemens,
thank
you.
I
understand
that's
what
I'm
that's
what
I'm
concerned
about
you're
only
wanting
one
thing
to
be
taught,
rather
than
fully
informing
public
school
students
as
to
you
know,
and
limiting
their
ability
to
get
a
full
education,
because
you
know
the
situation
exists
where
some
high
school
students
may
not
have
access
to
information
outside
that
classroom
about
how
best
to
protect
themselves
from
infectious
diseases
or
from
pregnancy
or
for
other
types
of
of
things.
H
So,
if
you
are
limiting
their
education,
are
you
not
worried
that
we're
gonna
see
increased
teen
pregnancy
rates
and
perhaps
the
need
for
more
state
support
and
government
spending?
A
A
We'll
be
on
item
number
five
house
bill,
1900.,
cheerleader
weaver
will
be
recognized
as
soon
as
she's
there.
There
we
go.
A
B
Thank
you
chairman.
Thank
you,
members,
so
a
little
history
last
year.
I
believe
it
might
have
been
the
year
before
and
get
mixed
up,
but
we
have.
I
had
a
piece
of
legislation
that
would
remove
the
praxis
from
our
from
our
teachers.
From
taking
it.
I
mean
I've
had
done
studies
that,
for
instance,
massachusetts
who
is
number
one
in
education
in
the
whole
united
states.
B
They
do
not
have
a
praxis
for
teachers,
and
you
have
to
wonder.
Okay,
what's
that
correlation,
but
the
short
story
to
the
long
story
is
this:
bill
will
actually
create
a
fund
to
reimburse
an
educator
who
receives
a
qualifying
score
on
a
required
assessment
and
who
receives
a
license
to
teach
or
an
endorsement
in
an
amount
equal
to
the
cost
of
the
assessment
we're
going
to
create
a
fund.
B
It's
got
a
huge
fiscal
note,
I'm
aware
of
that,
but
our
teachers
are
pay
for
these
tests
out
of
their
own
pocket
between
150
dollars
to
sometimes
four
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
B
Many
of
them
have
to
take
it
numerous
times
and
it's
a
onerous
and
it's
a
it's
a
bump
in
the
road
that
de-incentivizes
teachers
to
wanna
teach
and
maybe
improve
their
endorsements.
So
this
bill
would
actually
create
a
fund
to
reimburse
it,
and
hopefully
it
would
be
an
incentive
to
have
more
teachers.
A
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
got
in
the
proper
posture
here.
This
is,
does
have
an
amendment
that
rewrites
the
bill
and
let's
go.
B
A
A
B
A
That
brings
us
to
item
number
six
house
bill
1901
by
cheerleading
weaver.
You
are
properly
motioned,
you
are
recognized
and
I
believe
we
also
have
an
amendment
on
this.
Yes,.
A
B
Okay,
so
last
year,
when
we
had
covet
and
all
that
wonderful
drama,
we,
we
are
short
teachers.
In
fact
we're
going
to
be
short
around
7,
000
or
more
in
the
near
future.
So
this
bill
is
another
incentivizing
bill
to
get
teachers
into
the
profession,
and
currently
we
have,
and
so
because
of
covet.
Last
year
we
passed
a
bill
that
allowed
temporary
teachers
to
teach,
because
a
warm
body
in
the
classroom
is
better
than
none
and
we
all
agreed
to
do
that.
B
There
are
bars
that
they
have
to
go
through.
There
is
there's
a
process
they
have
to
go
to
through.
To
do
this.
Our
directors,
schools
and
people
in
your
district
in
my
district
are
very
capable
of
knowing
what
teachers
are
good
to
put
in
in
front
of
their
classrooms,
because
again
it's
to
their
advantage
to
put
a
good
teacher
in
there
because
they
will
be
evaluated
as
well.
B
So
what
this
bill
will
do
is
allow
a
temporary
teacher
to
teach
on
a
permit
and
she
accepts
she
cannot
teach
p
e
or
special
ed,
but
passage
of
this
bill
means
that
she
could
also
teach
and,
of
course,
testing
in
the
tcaps
there's
been
concerns.
People
have
thought.
Well,
you
know
I
don't
know
we
want
to
make
sure
they
understand
what
they're
teaching
yakitiak,
but
again
we
have
a
process
in
place.
B
B
B
B
I
think
it
would
in
actually
help
the
profession,
because
the
teacher
can
move
on
and
get
even
get
better
endorsements
and
get
better
pay,
and
it's
just
a
good
piece
of
legislation,
so
I
hope
you'll
vote.
Yes,.
A
We
do
have
some
people
on
the
list,
but
we
also
have
the
department
that
was
down
to
testify.
I
Thank
you,
chairman
jack
powers,
with
the
department
of
education,
charlie
buffalino,
with
the
department
of
education,
so
the
department
is
in
a
work
with
sponsored
position
on
this
bill
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
We
offered
an
amendment
that
would
have
addressed
some
of
our
concerns.
That
is
not
the
amendment
that
is
before
you
all
today.
I
Our
concern
is
around
the
inclusion
of
permits
and
extending
the
flexibility
for
permits
and
just
to
explain
the
difference
between
a
permanent
and
a
waiver
momentarily
a
permit
is
an
emergency
license
that
is
given
to
an
individual
who
has
gone
through
no
teacher
training.
What
we
do
at
the
department
is
we
check
to
make
sure
that
that
individual
has
completed
a
bachelor's
degree
and
the
director
of
schools
certifies
that
they
have
tried
to
recruit
for
that
position.
I
Historically,
we
have
not
awarded
permits
to
state-tested
subject
areas.
This
bill
also
concerns
waivers
waivers,
are
flexibilities.
We
provide
to
individuals
who
currently
hold
a
teaching
license
that
allow
them
to
teach
a
different
subject
than
the
one
that
they're
currently
endorsed
to
teach
and
again
historically,
we
have
not
awarded
those
in
state-tested.
Subject
areas
the
amendment
that
we
offered
would
have
allowed
the
continued
flexibility
to
issue
waivers
just
for
the
next
calendar
year,
but
would
not
have
allowed
to
continue
offering
permits
to
state-tested,
subject
areas
and
just
to
kind
of
talk
for
a
moment.
I
State-Tested
subject
areas
include
really
critical
grades.
Third
grade
fourth
grade
fifth
grade:
some
of
these
really
pivotal
early
grades,
where
our
students
are
still
learning
foundational
literacy,
skills
and
learning
how
to
read-
and
I
will
I
will
kind
of
harken
back
to
some
of
the
most
recent
legislation
passed,
the
tennessee
literacy
success
act
and
the
emphasis
not
only
in
our
k-12
classrooms,
on
reading
instruction,
but
also
in
our
public
or
also
in
our
teacher
prep
programs.
J
And
I
think
charlie
buffalo,
the
department
of
education,
I
think
the
only
thing
I
would
add
is
when
that
law
was
passed.
Last
year
we
talked
about
it
as
an
emergency
relief
valve
for
a
short-term
shortage
that
we're
experiencing
currently
the
bill
sort
of
as
written
the
bill
as
amended
provides
that
flexibility
in
perpetuity.
J
There
is
a
lot
of
really
great
efforts
going
underway
in
the
state
to
try
to
aggressively
addre
address
teacher
shortage
issues.
I
think
the
most
exciting
one
I
note
recently
was
the
apprenticeship
model
that
just
got
approved
by
the
u.s
department
of
labor.
You
know
we're
going
to
be
able
to
allow
a
pathway
for
folks
to
become
a
teacher
for
free
and
work
in
our
school
systems,
while
we're
working
towards
that.
J
Let's
see
how
that
plays
out
where
we
make
a
massive
shift
in
state
policy
to
allow
permits
and
waivers
in
these
tested
subjects,
but
to
the
sponsor's
point
we
can
see
why
there's
a
need
for
some
short-term
sort
of
relief
to
continue
on
for
another
year
and
then
perhaps
at
that
point
it
could
be
evaluated
whether
it
is
necessary
to
provide
that
for
more
time.
But
we
think
that
approach
makes
more
sense
than
making
a
rather
permanent
sort
of
change
going
forward.
A
We've
got
a
list
growing
here
was,
I
know
this
is,
I
think,
for
education.
Let's
go
to
representative
clemens.
A
Representative
love
was
your
question
for
the
department.
Okay,
all
right,
chairman
reagan,
you're
recognized.
K
I
I
Are
we
that
would
be
something
that
would
have
to
be
calculated
by
comparing
year
over
year,
the
number
of
new
teachers
that
our
teacher
prep
programs
are
producing?
And
I
would
note
that
even
doing
that
would
not
give
us
a
precise
number,
because
of
course,
there
are
other
ways
that
vacancies
could
be
filled,
such
as
teachers
coming
from
other
states.
K
Chairman
reagan,
thank
you
for
that
erudite
explanation.
However,
I
think
you
used
the
tried
and
true
technique
of
if
you
can't
answer
the
question
answer
one
that
sounds
like
it.
The
question
is
how
many
teachers
short
are
we
and
I
give
you
the
the
latitude
there
for
giving
me
an
estimate,
doesn't
have
to
be
precise
and
teachers
coming
in
from
other
states
and
teachers
going
out
to
other
states
etc.
Just
give
me
a
ballpark:
are
we
short
or
are
we
not,
and
if
we
are
short
about
how
many.
K
Okay,
that
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
mr
chairman,
I
continue
with
follow-up
absolutely
that
drives
the
other
question
that
to
this
point,
though-
and
that
is
if
we
have
that
many
shortages,
while
we
are
doing
our
best,
I
assume,
as
a
state,
to
fill
that
pipeline
for
teachers
coming
from
certified
sources,
teachers,
colleges
and
wherever
else
we
get
them.
K
What
are
we
doing?
In
the
meantime,
this
bill
seems
to
be
addressing
a
an
interim
solution
which
is
going
to
if
we're
10.
000
short,
it
appears
to
me
not
just
without
looking
at
the
math,
but
just
on
logic
that
that
would
take
more
than
a
year
to
fill
a
ten
thousand
teacher
shortage
issue
there.
So,
if
you're
saying
wish
that
your
amendment
was
to
limit
this
to
a
year,
it
appears
to
me
that
just
kicks
the
can
down
the
road
we'll
be
right
here
again
with
the
same
bill
before
us
for
another
year.
J
A
Explaining
that
kevin
reagan,
okay,
if
we
keep
prolonging
this,
we
may
have
solved
it
by
the
time
we
get
done.
Yeah.
K
K
And
that's
short
term
is
that
that's
current
vacancies?
Okay,
so
again
with
the
question
before
is:
how
are
we
going
to
fill
those
that
that
shortfall
are
we,
as
I
understand
it,
and
I've
had
conversations
with
dean
emeritus
of
one
of
our
teachers
colleges?
K
J
So,
no,
I
don't
think
it's
quite
correct.
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
different
things
we
have
done
recently
in
the
last
couple
years,
including
things
the
general
assembly
has
done.
My
colleague
mr
powers
mentioned
increased
flexibility
for
out-of-state
candidates
that
was
just
passed
last
year.
We
think
that
that
will
help
sort
of
in
this
area.
The
department
in
working
in
conjunction
with
the
state
board,
has
began
to
offer
programs
to
offer
additional
endorsements
to
teachers.
J
J
Your
own
programs,
which
enjoy
quite
a
bit
of
popularity
across
the
state,
with
districts
partnering
with
epps,
to
provide
free
options
for
candidates
to
grow
into
those
teacher
roles,
and-
and
I
think
the
thing
I
mentioned
earlier-
that
we're
really
excited
about
is
being
the
first
state
in
the
country
to
be
approved
by
the
us
department
of
labor
to
use
federal
dollars
to
allow
folks
to
become
a
teacher
for
free.
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
fronts
and
I
think
part
of
the
reason
we've
seen
those
numbers
get
reduced
over
the
course.
J
When
a
teacher
who
has
not
gone
through
any
sort
of
preparation
program
is
put
in
front
of
students
in
an
untested
subject,
we
do
that
when
we
have
exhausted
all
other
options
and
so
to
make
that
a
policy
shift
in
perpetuity.
We
think
it's
certainly
a
step
too
far
given
where
we're
at.
Currently,
let's
keep
trying
all
of
these
other
efforts
to
reduce
those.
J
A
Well,
I
will
just
interject
here
before
we
get
on
the
list.
The
the
comment
was
made
about
looking
for
an
interim
solution
and
I
think
that
you
got
to
look
at
it
on
the
other
side
as
well.
You
know
we
don't
to
me,
I
don't
know
about
putting
in
a
long-term
solution
and
then
once
we
have
the
teacher
shortage
taken
care
of,
then
we
have
to
come
back
and
clean
up
and
say
now
we
we
need
to
keep
from
having
teachers
coming
in
into
the
eoc
part,
you
know
or
other
areas.
A
So
I
think
that
there's
there's
something
in
between
there.
If
it
is
an
interim
solution,
it's
2
000
teachers
that
you
know.
I
think
that
this
is
a
good
bill
for
you
know,
but
we're
looking
for
an
interim
solution,
and
I
don't
know
if
keeping
in
perpetuity
is
the
way
to
do
it.
If
we
have
to
come
back
and
clean
that
up
later,
chairman
sapicki,
you
are
recognized.
L
Thank
you
thank
you
and
I
think
the
bill
that
we
had
that
we
worked
on
you've,
just
reiterated
that
it
worked
perfectly
you
just
we
all
were
operating
under.
I
thought
it
was
ten
to
fifteen
thousand.
You
said
it
was
ten
and
magically
it
went
to
two
now.
You
said
you
got
a
text
from
somebody.
I
don't
know
who
do
you
get
the
text
from.
J
L
J
No,
that's
not
quite
correct
so
and
I'll
try
to
get
to
this
quickly.
The
learning
loss
remediation
and
student
acceleration
act
gave
the
state
board
emergency
rulemaking
to
provide
this.
That
was
not
going
to
cover
the
whole
course
of
the
the
upcoming
school
year.
There
was
another
piece
of
legislation
that
you
passed,
that
allowed
him
permanent
rulemaking
and
that
covered
us
for
the
20-20-21
school
year.
Correct.
L
So
the
promulgation
of
that
rule
to
allow
this
emergency
filling
of
the
need.
We
had
worked
magnificently
because
we
went
from
ten
thousand
to
two
thousand.
According
to
the
commission
of
education,
she
just
gave
you
a
number
of
two
thousand:
where
did
the?
Where
did
the
8
000
people
come
from?
Because
we
were
told
by
the
department
that
there
weren't
enough
people
to
fill
these
positions
so
either
we're
not
being
told
the
truth
over
here
with
the
with
the
department
about
the
openings
or
the
numbers
are
getting
fudged,
which
one
is
it?
J
I
I
don't
think
it's
either
of
those.
I
think
we've
made
a
lot
of
progre
progress
on
a
number
of
different
fronts
and
closing
some
of
our
vacancy
gaps.
I
think
the
permits
and
waivers
are
part
of
them,
but
it's
not
a
direct
correlation
that
that's
the
only
thing.
That's
lessened
our
vacancies
chairman.
It's
a
picky
48.
J
I
think
a
number
of
the
things
I
just
mentioned,
I
think
we've
had
some
more
teachers
come
through
our
prep
programs.
I
think
we've
had
folks
go
through
alternative
pathways.
We've
had
some
folks
get
additional
endorsements
through
some
new
paths
that
are
out
there
and
we've
seen
our
grow.
Your
own
programs
grow
quite
a
bit,
it's
all
of
the
above.
J
No,
I
think
our
concern
with
this
bill
is
that
the
permit
and
waiver
process
is
an
emergency
process.
If
you
don't
have
another
option
and
for
us
to
put
that
in
place
in
perpetuity,
it's
not
in
our
students
best
interest
to
have
a
teacher
in
front
of
them
who
has
not
gone
through
any
prep.
We
do
those
in
emergency
situations
when
we
don't
have
other
options.
Doing
that
in
the
short
term
is
not
something
we
have
an
issue
with.
J
I
want
to
be
clear
and-
and
the
sort
of
amendment
that
we
had
drafted
and
shared
with
the
sponsor,
would
have
allowed
that
for
another
year
if
we
think
it
needs
to
be
two
years.
We're
open
to
sort
of
talking
about
that
too,
but
to
put
that
in
place
permanently,
is
to
create
a
pathway
in
which
we
potentially
are
going
to
have
a
whole
lot
of
teachers
in
in
tested
subjects,
and
I
think
in
particularly
with
some
of
the
work
we've
done
to
create
much
higher
more
rigorous
standards
in
terms
of
early
literacy.
L
L
Every
bill
that
we
pass
is
not
permanent
because
we
can
always
come
back
and
repeal
it.
So
the
argument
that
we're
making
this
permanent
is
moot
because
the
next
general
somebody
can
come
back
in
with
their
with
direction
from
the
state
board
or
from
the
department
to
say:
hey,
we
don't
have
a
vacancy
we're
great
we're
good
to
go,
but
to
come
in,
and
I
mean
the
2000
that
you
just
told
us
today.
L
L
J
J
We
were
work
with
sponsor
to
if
there
is
a
short-term
need
for
a
relief
valve
and-
and
we
wanted
to
work
to
sort
of
operate-
that
this
is
one
of
the
top
priority
areas
for
the
department
of
education
and
for
the
commissioner
is
to
try
to
aggressively
close
those
shortages
and-
and
we
are
are
aware
of
the
seriousness
of
that
issue
and
and
again,
there's
a
reason.
We
are
trying
every
sort
of
pathway
we
can,
and
we
are
very
excited
about
some
of
the
progress
that
we've
made
and
we
know
there's
more
progress.
J
That
needs
to
be
made-
and
I
know
mr
powers
has
some
actual
info
about
how
many
of
those
permits
and
waivers
we've
processed
to
date.
That
I
think,
might
be
helpful
for
you,
chairman.
I
Yep
and
thank
you
for
the
question
chairman
one
of
the
things
I
do
want
to
make
sure
to
stress
again:
we've
historically
issued
permits
and
and
our
our
issue
is
not
with
whether
or
not
to
continue
issuing
permits,
it's
whether
to
continue
issuing
permits
for
state-tested
subject
areas
which
are
the
most
critical
subject,
areas
that
our
students
have.
It
includes
third
grade.
Fourth
grade
fifth
grade
our
high
school
eocs,
those
courses
that
are
predictive
of
success
in
college.
I
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
point
is
not
lost,
because
we
are
not
we're
not
pushing
back
on
the
ability
to
continue
awarding
permits
overall,
and
so
there
is
still
that
flexibility
to
alleviate
teacher
shortage
and
to
help
with
staffing,
and
when
you
pair
that,
with
some
of
the
approaches
that
mr
buffalino
has
mentioned
here,
you
do
allow
some
real
flexibility
at
the
district
level
to
staff
qualified
trained
individuals
in
these
critical
classes.
But
what
I
wanted
to
share?
I
I
between
july
1st,
of
2021
and
february
7th
of
2022.
We
have
awarded
1443
permits,
so
we
have
had
an
uptick
in
the
number
of
permits
that
we
have
awarded
and
we
can
assume
that's
because
of
the
increased
flexibility,
but
to
the
point
earlier.
That
does
not
account
for
the
8
000
difference
which
I
think
begins
to
be
attributed
to
some
of
the
other
flexibilities
that
have
been
granted.
G
G
With
what
I
think
the
department
has
listed,
which
is,
if
we
rush
this
or
put
it
into
permanence,
we
will
have
increased
numbers
of
teachers
who
are
unprepared.
We
already
have
a
gap
between
achieving
african-american
students
and
data
shows
that
african-american
students
oftentimes
end
up
with
more
unprepared
teachers.
G
Urban
league's,
2020
state
of
black
america
report
shows
that
21
percent
of
african-american
students
have
teachers
who
don't
have
an
undergraduate
degree
in
the
subject,
they're
teaching,
and
so
I
don't
want
us
to
do
something.
That's
going
to
expand
that
achievement
gap,
and
I
know
my
colleagues
don't
want
to
do
that
right
now
either.
G
D
J
You
chairman,
yes,
we
prepared
a
draft
amendment
that
we
shared
with
the
sponsor
on
friday
evening.
D
Okay,
well,
thank
you
very
much
and
just
want
to
make
a
point
and
I'm
in
agreement
with
representative
love.
This
wants
to
be
cautious
where
we're
going.
We
understand,
there's
a
teacher
shortage
and
there's
a
there's,
a
shortage
in
about
every
industry.
We
have
right
now.
Airline
pilots,
healthcare
workers,
but
I
want
to
be
careful
in,
is
as
we
if
we
want
to
fill
the
gaps
in
our
classroom,
the
2000
10
000,
whatever
we
we
wanted.
We
understand
that,
but
take
the
airline
industry.
I
have
a
hundred
hours
flying
a
plane,
vfr
pilot.
D
I
go
to
united
and
say,
give
me
a
permit
I'll.
Take
that
747
off
now.
If
you
see
me
in
the
cockpit
you
better
get
out
of
the
plane
cause,
I
don't
know
how
to
land
it
and
that's
the
whole
point.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
hold.
You
know
teachers
just
as
important.
We
may
need
to
give
these
temporary
permits
because
there's
a
temporary
shortage
or
a
long-term
charge,
but
we
cannot
relax
it
to
where
you
don't
go
back.
D
D
So
I
don't
want
us
to
relax
things.
I
know
we
need
a
teacher
shortage
and
if
your
amendment
works
to
kind
of
help
that,
but
I
would
very
much
been
against
making
this
indefinite,
where
you
just
keep
doing
permits
and
people
aren't
qualified,
because
you're
just
dumbing
down
education
even
further.
So
let's
keep
that
in
mind
as
we
move
forward.
A
One
thing
I
was
going
to
mention
is
is
if
we
could
get
to
the
point
of
of
agreeing
to
like
possibly
the
two-year
and
then
at
the
same
time,
maybe
we
request
orea
to
look
into
the
numbers
as
we
go
and
report
back
to
us,
so
we
can
get
some
validation
on
what
the
teacher
shortage
is
looking
like
as
we
go
and
see
if
it
needs
to
be
possibly
extended.
If
that
would
be
something
I
just
wanted
to
throw
throw
that
out
there
does
anybody
else,
have
any
questions
for
the
department
representative,
clemens.
H
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
sorry,
for
coming
back
around
a
second
time,
but
you
know
I
share
the
chairman
on
other
end's
concerns.
H
You
know
I
don't
know.
I
may
be
the
only
person
on
this
committee
who
actually
has
children
in
public
school
still.
Second
grader,
a
fourth
grader.
Sixth
grader
hurt.
You
know
yeah.
Okay,
that's
good!
Well,
this!
You
know
it's
personal
to
me,
it's
personal
to
several
of
us
up
here.
Apparently
still
you
know
the
the
comment
was
made.
A
warm
body
is
better
than
no
one.
H
I
I
you
know
three
years,
a
teacher
who's
not
trained
for
three
years
of
a
child's
educational
career
in
elementary
school
in
a
in
a
single
course
which
is
potential,
is
devastating.
It
could
absolutely
be
devastating
and
change
the
entire
trajectory
of
that
child's
life.
I
agree.
I
found
myself
rarely
once
again
agreeing
with
this
administration.
H
We
have
to
be
very
careful
about
just
putting
this
in
you
know
I,
when
we
want
to
talk
about
teacher
shortages.
Let's
talk
about
respecting
teachers,
paying
teachers
more
addressing
retention
rates,
those
are
the
ways
to
address
teacher
shortages,
not
just
giving
permits
in
perpetuity
to
people
who
aren't
trained
to
teach
the
subject
we're.
We
are
tying
we're
looking
this
year
to
tie
funding
to
performance
in
schools.
H
Well,
we're
setting
our
schools
up
for
failure
if
we're
going
to
tie
money
and
funding
to
that
performance,
because
now
we're
just
letting
teachers
teach
that
aren't
even
qualified
to
teach
those
subjects.
So
I
I
reiterate
my
my
friends
across
all
my
friend,
a
colleague
from
davidson
county,
the
concerns
we
cannot
do
this
to
our
children.
There
are
ways
to
address
teacher
shortages.
A
B
B
B
This
is
an
a
this
is
allowing
teachers
who
have
a
passion
who
want
to
teach
get
in
the
classroom
and
again
go
through
the
bar
that
is
set
before
them
in
this
bill.
It's
just
not
easy
to
get
all
those
ducks
in
a
row
to
get
your
pass
to
go
ever
to
go
into
the
classroom,
but
there's
also
every
three.
Every
year
you
are
evaluated,
you
are
looked
at
and
if
you
don't
meet
that
bar
you
can't
go
back.
So
we
already
have
that
process
in
place.
B
And
yes,
our
kids
deserve
great
teachers
and
we're
doing
a
lot
to
try
to
to
help
that
profession.
But
I
will
also
entertain
that
I
did
not
get
this
amendment
on
friday
evening.
I
was
called
at
home
on
saturday
with
this
amendment,
and
I
was
not
able
to
be
here
monday
morning
in
time
to
put
the
amendment
for
a
timely
amendment
on
I
was
called
on
the
weekend
and
again
the
bill
still
addresses
the
department's
concern,
because
we
go
on
a
yearly
check
on
this
teacher.
Who
has
this
permit?
B
It's
not
in
per
it's,
not
indefinite.
We
still
check
on
this
teacher,
and
so
I'm
open
for
questions.
D
B
Well,
I'm
a
jet.
I
object
to
the
point
that
it
was
given
to
me
untimely
and
I
know
committees
are-
are
starting
to
close
down
and
I
looked
at
what
they
gave
me
and
I
didn't
see
much
difference
other
than
they
wanted
to
control
how
it
went,
and
I
have
faith
in
my
directors
of
schools
and
the
people
that
are
in
charge
of
those
schools
to
know
who
is
capable
of
standing
before
their
kids
and
we
are
in
an
emergency,
and
I
feel
that
we
need
to
at
least
try
this
and
again
you
mentioned
it.
B
We
keep
talking
about
this
over
and
over
and
addressing
our
shortage
so
yeah.
I
thought
well,
we've
I've.
Basically,
the
bill
already
addresses
what
their
concern
is.
We
have
the
state
board
of
education
having
to
issue
the
permit
again.
The
director
schools
has
to
write
the
letter.
The
teacher
has
to
be
highly
evaluated,
so
it's
not
going
to
be
just
somebody
off
the
streets
and
I
feel
it
would
be
a
way
to
to
bring
teachers
into
areas
where
it's
hard
to
get
teachers.
B
B
B
B
It's
not
been
drafted,
so
I
think
it's
best
that
we
have
a
piece
of
paper
in
front
of
us
I'll
work
with
department
to
their
amendment
and
then
we'll
come
back
here
and
you'll
be
able
to
see
the
amendment
before
you
and
I'll
also
honor
the
chairman's
policy
and
making
things
right
and
subcommittee
before
we
take
it
to
full.
So
I'm
going
to
honor
that
too.
So
I'm
going
to
honor
two
folks
here
today,
the
department
and
the
chairman,
hot
diggity
dog,
so
I'm
going
to
roll
in
a
week.
A
A
B
So
when
we
did
the
reciprocity
bill
last
year,
if
you're
pro
in
georgia
you're
prone
tennessee,
which
everyone
seems
to
love
that
idea,
it
really
helps
fill
in
our
teacher
shortage.
This
just
adds
two
words
assisted
principles,
so
the
administrative
part,
so
we
left
that
out
not
intentionally,
but
apparently
you
have
to
go
through
this
whole
rigmarole
if
you're
a
principal
in
another
state,
you
can't
be
a
principal
here,
so
this
addresses
that
and
that's
all
it
does.
A
A
A
Thank
you
for
that
members.
You
have
any
questions
representative,
clemens,
you're,
recognized.
H
D
K
C
K
C
That's
insane,
but
obviously
it's
a
no-nonsense
bill,
but
to
actually
we
have
to
intervene
and
what
should
be
a
matter
of
fact
at
the
local
level.
Just
explains
everything
I
agree.
Resident
hall.
D
H
Representative
clemens,
thank
you,
mr.
I
think
that
this
bill
simply
allows
a
governing
body
to
authorize
a
teacher
to
withhold
a
student's
phone
for
that
duration.
I
don't
think
it
overrides
the
ability
for
them
to
send
it
to
the
principal
office
until
the
end
of
the
day.
It
just
says
they
may
authorize
it
under
this,
so
just
wanted
to
clarify
that.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Teamwork.
All
right
makes
the
dream
work
all
right.
Without
objection.
We
are
going
to
be
voting
on
house
bill
2028,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
all
supposed
to
say
no.
I
was
having
on
the
full
education.
Thank
you,
vince,
chairman
committee.
That
brings
us
to
item
number
nine
house
bill
2621
by
representative
harris
properly
motioned
representative
harris.
You
were
recognized
on
your
bill.
Thank.
N
You
chairman
and
members,
there
is
an
amendment
on
this
bill,
one
three,
six,
six,
zero.
A
All
right
members,
we
have
an
untimely
filed
amendment
on
this
bill
drafting
code.
What
is
it
again?
What
is
it
one?
Three,
six,
six
zero
untimely
filed
amendment
we
have
without
objection.
We
will
be
hearing
the
untimely
filed
amendment.
Let's,
let's
hear
the
explanation.
N
Chairman
this
untimely
filed
amendment
changes
deleting
the
word
superintendent
from
this
bill
and
substituting
it
with
director
of
schools.
A
N
Thank
you
so
much
and,
as
many
of
you
know,
foster
youth
is
a
very
important
topic
for
me
and
so
any
opportunity
that
I
can
get
to
advocate
for
a
foster
youth.
I
try
my
absolute
best
to
do
so.
Hb
2621
would
require
that
each
lea
designate
a
foster
care
liaison
to
collaborate
with
the
department
of
children
services
to
serve
as
a
point
of
contact
between
the
foster
student
and
dcs
to
address
educational
barriers
for
students
in
foster
care
and
assist
with
resources.
N
This
bill
would
allow
dcs
to
create
a
power
point
of
such
with
best
practices
for
choosing
and
training
the
foster
care
liaison
on
who
to
contact
signs
to
look
for
and
ways
to
work
with
work
together
for
the
betterment
of
every
student
foster
students.
Specifically
the
fiscal
note
on
this
one
is
not
significant
and
for
much
larger
school
districts.
N
So
an
example
of
that
would
be
that
if
a
child
was
abused
at
home
and
came
to
school
at
least
they
knew
who
to
go
to
they
had
that
point
of
contact
they
can
reach
out
to
who
can
connect
them
with
dcs,
and
so
this
is
kind
of
a
streamlined
between
that.
I
think
I've
spoken
with
most
of
the
members
in
regards
to
this,
and
so
I
appreciate
your
favorable
vote
on
this.
Thank
you
so
much.
D
Thank
you
when
I
talked
to
you
earlier,
I
didn't
just
confirm
this.
I
have
a
bill
coming
called
handle
with
care
and
that's
where,
if
a
child
in
a
home,
where
there's
a
domestic
violence
or
domestic
dispute
and
law
enforcement
has
to
come
to
that
home
and
then
that
child
that
morning
is
headed
to
school,
that
law
enforcement
calls
that
school
and
lets
this
school,
and
my
question
is
who
they
let
no
other
than
the
principal.
D
A
N
Absolutely
so,
this
is
a
great
that's,
a
great
segue
between
those
two
bills
to
allow
that
person,
the
police
officer,
whoever
to
notify
the
school.
The
school
will
be
able
to
reach
out
to
we'll
have
a
person
on
on
site
to
be
able
to
reach
to
dcs
and
also
be
a
point
of
contact
as
they
go
through
that
process
of
that
child
being
absent.
N
A
A
We
get
two,
we
got
two
motions,
I'm
sorry
properly,
motioned
representative
you're
recognized
yeah.
M
M
A
A
M
You
chairman
and
history
behind
this
bill.
It
was
actually
2017
in

of
the
education
committee.
It
was
the
educator's
bill
of
rights
house,
bill
174.
What
we're
doing
is
taking
the
name,
the
educators
bill
of
rights
and
codifying
that.
But,
mr
chairman,
I
want
to
read
for
the
record
not
only
for
your
use
but
the
audience
and
those
viewing
the
purpose
of
this,
and
it
was.
We
were
building
a
foundation
that
in
future
years
that
we
can
work
on
and
it
states

Thank.
A
O
Name,
mr
chairman
house,
bill
2408
is
pretty
what
it
says
it
is.
A
teacher
should
not
be
disciplined
or
subject
for
remedial
action
for
teaching
tennessee
standards
for
using
state
or
lea,
lea
approved
instructional
material
as
part
of
the
course
of

curriculum
or
instructional
program,
teachers
should
not
be
accountable
for
something
that
the
state
or
department
of
ed
or
the
lea
has
approved
they
should
you
know
they
should
go
through
the
chain
of
command.
K
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
I
concur
good
to
see
you
here
back
in
the
swing
of
things.
I
do
have
a
point
of
clarity,
though:
lea
approved
material
specific,
specifically
I'm
talking
about
supplemental
materials
that
does
not
extend
to
the
teacher
choosing
their
own
and
saying
I'm
part
of
the
lea,
and
therefore
it's
lea
approved
correct,
actually.
A
Thank
you
for
that
clarity.
Thank
you.
Anybody
have
any
other
questions.
Seeing
none
we'll
be
voting
on
house
bill
2408,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
I
was
supposed
to
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
on
the
full
education
brings
us
to
item
number
13.
house
bill
2409.
We
do
have
an
untimely
filed
amendment
drafting
code.
A
Three
four:
two:
six.
Second,
on
the
bill
properly
motioned.
Now
we
are,
we
are
the
proper
posture
here.
Would
you
please
explain
your
amendment?
Okay,.
O
The
amendment
makes
the
bill,
and
this
is
you
always
looking
for
a
solution
about
the
teaching
shortage?
Well,
this
is
one
of
the
solutions
I.
A
Tell
you
what,
since
it
makes
your
bill,
let's
go
ahead
with
that
objection.
Let's
get
it
down
the
bill.
Sorry
about
that
all
right!
Thank
you
with
objection,
we'll
be
voting
to
adopt
this
amendment,
one
three,
four,
two,
six,
all
those
in
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye.
I
was
supposed
to
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
you're
back
on
your
bill
as
amended
and
you're
you're
recognized,
okay,.
O
O
They
get
80
percent
paid
by
the
state
and
they
have
to
any
up
to
20
percent,
whereas
teachers
they
have
to
annie
up
55
if
the
local,
lea
doesn't
supplement
that
part-
and
I
know
wayne
county,
which
is
distressed-
a
distressed
county.
O
I
talked
to
the
director
of
school
today
and
a
family
policy
for
a
teacher
in
wayne.
County
is
1692
dollars
a
month,
the
state
and
the
local
lea
what
they
put
in.
It
is
841,
so
the
teacher
has
to
come
up
with
850
dollars
a
month
for
their
insurance.
O
O
Well,
not
really
because
they
go
up
to
80,
so
they
still
would
be
for
the
20,
but
it'd
definitely
be
a
four
or
five
hundred
dollar
raise
a
month.
D
A
O
Well,
you
know
they
should
already
be
state
employees,
because
the
state
is
in
charge
of
the
curriculum,
their
policies
that
they
have
to
choose
from
the
standards.
Everything
that
the
teacher
does
is
dictated
by
the
department
of
ed.
So
why
they're,
not
teachers?
I
don't
know
I
mean
not.
Why
they're
not
state
employees,
I've
never
have
figured
that
out.
You
know
I
was
in
the
education
profession
for
33
years,
and
that
was
always
a
pet
peeve
of
mine
that
they
didn't
pay
the
insurance
like
they
did.
Other
state
employees.
H
O
Well,
and-
and
I
just
wanted
to
plug
this
in
the
you
know-
the
support
staff,
the
secretaries,
the
janitors
people
like
that
the
state
only
provides
15
of
their
insurance,
whereas
our
custodians
maintenance-
here
you
know
they
get
80
too.
So
it's
a
big
difference
between
a
state
employee
and
a
teacher
or
a
public
education,
employee.
A
Appreciate
that
appreciate
this
bill,
does
anybody
have
any
other
questions
for
the
sponsor?
Seeing
none
we'll
be
voting.
Sorry
back
to
my
page
here
we'll
be
voting
on
house
bill
2409,
all
those
in
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
I'll
suppose
to
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
on
full
education.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
members.
A
All
right
moving
right
along
we're
going
to
go
to
item
15.
house
bill
2003
by
chairman
sapicki.
Do
I
have
a
motion
property
motion
terms
of
picky
you're
recognized.
L
This
is
a
very
simple
bill.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
this
recognizes
our
level
four
and
five
teachers
with
a
bonus
paid
for
by
the
state
of
tennessee.
In
a
grant
program
outside
outside
the
bep,
a
level
four
teacher
would
receive
a
one
thousand
dollar
bonus,
a
level
five
teacher
would
receive
a
two
thousand
dollar
bonus.
L
Now,
if
a
level
four
teacher
would
happen
to
get
forty
percent
proficiency
rates
from
their
students,
the
state
would
pay
an
addiction,
an
additional
three
thousand
dollars
on
top
of
that
for
a
bonus
and
if
a
level
five
teacher
would
reach
55
percent,
an
additional
four
thousand
dollars
would
be
paid
to
that
teacher
on
top
of
the
original
two.
Obviously
it's
going
to
have
a
very
big
fiscal
note,
but
the
governor
did
increase
the
budget
5
billion
in
recurring,
so
maybe
we
can
find
some
money
somewhere
else.
H
H
You
know
I've
said
this
a
million
times
in
here
everything
that
happens
outside
that
school
building
gets
brought
into
that
school
building
and
teachers
are
not
trained
to
deal
with
all
those
things,
though,
we
put
the
expectations
on
and
burdens
on
their
shoulders
to
deal
with
all
those
things
and
some
teachers
teach
in
different
communities
than
others
and
have
other
challenges
that
some
teacher
other
teachers
may
not.
I
don't
think
that
tying
more
money
to
these
measures
of
performance
is
the
way
to
adequately
do
this.
H
L
K
Thank
you
and
again
a
point
of
clarity.
Our
colleague
at
the
end
mentioned
arbitrary.
You
were
talking
about
performance
measures.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
sir,
so
they're
not
arbitrary?
No
sir,
thank
you
for
that
clarity.
A
A
That
brings
us
to
item
number
17
house
bill
2086
by
chairman
white.
Do
you
have
a
motion
properly
motion,
chairman
white?
You
are.
A
All
right
we're
properly
we're,
probably
motioned
on
house
bill.
2086,
chairman
white,
you
were
recognized.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Sorry,
I'm
misunderstood
on
that.
16.
remembers
what
this
does.
This
has
brought
some
of
our
counties.
School
districts
lie
on
the
borders
of
other
states,
and
this
is
brought
to
you
by
the
collierville
school
district,
which
is
in
shelby
county
and
butts
up
to
mississippi
the
the
current
law.
He
says
that
when
the
lea
hires
a
teacher
from
across
state
lines,
those
children
are
that
may
come
because
the
teacher
teaches
there.
They
can
also
have
the
come
in
and
not
have
to
pay
tuition.
It's
permissive,
whether
they
pay
tuition
or
not.
D
What
this
bill
does
is
just
add
staff,
so
anyone
that
they
hire
whether
it
be
a
teacher
or
staff
they
have
the
option
of
where
those
children
would
have
to
pay
tuition
or
not
out
of
state
and
simply
that's
what
it
does.
H
D
It's
been
from
the
exact
sense
now
withstand
the
part
to
the
country.
If
a
parent
of
a
school-aged
child
is
employed
by
an
alien
located
outside
the
lea
of
the
parents,
residence,
then
the
employee's
child
may
attend
a
school
within
the
l.a
that
employs
the
non-resident
parent.
It's
just
giving
them
permission
as
an
lea
to
allow
that
child
still
having
to
pay
tuition
a
lot
of
times
this
particular
instance.
They
were
involved
today
and
they
have
a
great
staff
member
and
the
reason
they
want
to
keep.
D
A
You
any
other
questions,
seeing
none
we'll
be
voting
on
house
bill
2086,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
all
of
the
posts
say
no
eyes
have
it
on
full
education.
Good
luck
with
that
chairman
we're
over
to
item
number
19,
which
is
house
bill
2703
by
chairman
watt.
Do
I
have
a
motion,
probably
motion
chairman
white
you're,
recognized
on
house
bill
2703.
Thank
you
chairman.
D
D
So
I
said:
okay,
I
care
for
you
all
he's
asking
for
is
that
the
department
of
education
shall
design
and
adopt
a
certificate
of
licensure
so
that
when
you
get
a
teacher's
license
with
these
particular
things
or
like
your
name
and
when
the
issue,
so
they
can
then
take
that
and
frame
it
and
put
on
their
wall
their
classroom
and
say
I
I
am
licensed
as
an
incredible
teacher,
accredited
teacher
and
that's
really
all
it
does.
It's
got
a
little
15
000
fiscal
note
I
got
to
deal
with,
but
besides
that.
A
Any
questions
for
the
sponsor
seeing
none
be
voting
on
house
bill
2703,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
all
opposed,
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
on
the
full
education.
That
brings
us
to
the
last
item
that
we'll
have
on
the
calendar
tonight.
Item
number
20
house
bill
1890
