Description
House K-12 Subcommittee - March 1, 2022 - House Hearing Room 2
A
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Any
personal
orders
before
we
begin
seeing
none,
let's
get,
let's
go
through
some
of
the
calendar
here
and
I'll.
Let
you
know
kind
of
what
we've
had
change
item
number
two
house
bill.
2564
has
been
rolled
one
week
item
number
four
house
bill.
2633
has
been
rolled
one
week.
A
A
Item
number
11
house
bill
2454
as
rolled
a
week.
A
I
believe
that
that
is
it
did
I
miss
anything
there.
All
right.
We
are
going
to
roll
a
couple
of
members
bills,
a
few
spaces
so
that
we
can
get
to
some
of
our
guests
that
are
with
us.
We'll
roll
house
bill
2341
a
few
spaces,
and
we
will
roll
house
bill
2085
by
chairman
watt,
a
few
spaces
and
we'll
go
ahead
and.
A
Properly
motioned
represent
sheryl.
Do
you
have
an
amendment
with
this.
C
Yes,
sir,
have
amendment
0-1-3-8-0-1.
C
A
Right
does
the
amendment
make
the
bill?
Yes,
all
right.
Without
objection,
members,
we
will
go
ahead
and
add
13801
to
house
bill
1954.
All
those
in
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye,
all's
opposed
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it.
We
are
back
on
your
bill
as
amended
representative
cheryl.
You
were
recognized.
C
Thank
you,
chairman
of
members
myself
and
later
gann
is
here
on
behalf
of
some
of
our
counties
that
are
having
some
issues
with
our
would
you
say,
maybe
superintendent
schools
which
they
are
wanting
the
opportunity
to
elect
their
superintendent's
school.
So
here's
what
we
have
in
this
bill
house
bill
1954,
which
does
have
the
amendment
that
we
just
talked
about
the
zero
one.
Three
eight
zero
one.
C
Would
I
try
to
get
where
the
people
could
have
the
opportunity
opportunity
to
elect
their
superintendent's
school,
which
now
we
know
is
all
appointed?
It
was
changed
back
in
1992.,
so
number
one,
this
bill
that
I
have,
and
I
want
to
try
to
make
it
very
clearly
that
we're
not
trying
to
just
change
it
from
appointed
to
elected.
This
is
an
option
bill
number
one
loud
and
clear,
and
I
know
that
some
people
has
tried
to
muddy
the
water
on
this,
but
this
is
an
option
bill
that
it
would
be
for
superintendent.
C
C
We
have
a
school
board
and
a
lot
of
times
most
of
the
time.
It
seems
to
be
there's
about
seven,
that's
on
the
the
board,
and
it
seems
to
be
that
sometimes
we
have
a
superintendent
that
gets
four
people
on
his
side
and
he
gets
done
on
whatever
agenda
he's
on
trying
to
get
done.
He
gets
it
done
so
we're
here
today
to
try
to
help
the
people.
C
You
know
I've
had
over
15
members
here
in
the
house.
That's
having
some
issues
with
their
superintendent
school
and
they've
asked
me
to
carry
the
bill
as
as
leader
gant
and
his
county
and
others
is
asked,
so
we're
trying
to
carry
this
for
our
counties
and
we
were
having
some
issues
and
I
was
told
that
elected
superintendent
of
schools
will
stay
average
of
10
years
now.
C
The
appointed
superintendent
of
schools
will
usually
stay
about
two
years,
so
if
they
have
a
four-year
contract,
there'll
be
two
years
there
that
the
taxpayers
has
to
pick
up
the
tab
so
think
about
things
like
that
that
we're
dealing
with,
for
instance,
grundy,
county
right
now,
they're
on
their
third
superintendent
of
school.
Since
I
was
elected
in
2016.,
that's
not
good
for
our
counties.
It's
not
good
for
our
students,
not
good
for
our
teachers,
we're
not
trying
to
change
the
qualifications
of
the
superintendent's
school,
we're
not
trying
to
change
the
school
board.
C
C
A
D
Thank
you,
chairman
and
committee
and
I'll
be
very
brief,
and
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
this
is
a
permissive.
This
is
not
a
mandate
on
any
county
to
follow
this.
This
is
a
very
open.
It
provides
accountability
for
our
superintendents
across
the
state
for
counties
that
want
to
do
opt-in
to
have
their
superintendent
elected.
D
So
I
would
just
you
know,
kind
of
put
it
in
this
perspective.
D
If,
if
we
have
to
be
elected
and
accountable
to
our
constituents,
counties
should
be
able
to
hold
that
same
regard
to
their
superintendents
across
this
state
that
decide
to
do
that,
and
it's
not
saying
that
every
county
this
may
not
fit
certain
counties,
but
this
does
address
some
problems
that
representative
shirl,
you
know
pointed
out,
and
I
would
just
encourage
this
committee
if,
if
there's
a
way,
we
can
continue
this
conversation
and
push
this
to
full
committee
to
continue
the
conversation
and
not
shut
the
conversation
of
this
issue
out,
because
this
is
shedding
a
lot
of
good
light
on
some
of
our
school
districts,
and
I
think
the
conversation
needs
to
continue
to
full
committee
if,
if
y'all
would
indulge
us
to
continue
this
conversation
and
get
this
to
full
committee,
so
we
can
continue
to
have
some
of
these
discussions.
D
E
C
Right
now,
they're
appointed
er,
where
they're
appointed.
C
E
C
Be
okay.
Excuse
me,
four
years
it
would
be.
C
E
E
Representative
clemens
follow
up.
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
last
one.
So
right
now,
if
the,
if,
if
they
don't
do
their
job
or
do
it
well
or
do
something
because
they're
under
contract
they
the
board,
can
claim
breach
contract,
they
can
terminate
that
individual
and
hire
a
new
one
to
come
in
and
replace
them.
E
C
Representative
cheryl
we're
not
having
the
issue
of
of
actually
getting
fired
for
the
superintendent's
schools,
we're
having
an
issue
where
they're
quitting
and
they're.
You
know
about
two
years,
maybe
three
and
then
they
have
to
turn
around
the
county
does
or
the
taxpayers
do.
They
have
to
finish
paying
out
his
contract
for
four
years
or
whatever
it
is.
They
may
be
longer
than
that.
So.
E
Yeah
representative
clemens,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
yeah
my
point
is,
is
just
we
have
the
ability
to
do
that
now.
If
they
don't
do
the
job,
they
do
something
wrong.
We
can
claim
breach
or
you
know
and
terminate
them
and
find
a
new
one.
But
if
we
elect
them
for
those
four
years,
you're
locked
in
you
don't
have
that
same
ability
to
change
direction
or
change
course
for
individuals.
So
that
was
my
question
and
not
that
it
had
been
a
problem
thus
far
it
may
have
been.
I
don't
know,
but
that's
my
con.
E
C
No
sir,
I
don't
really
because
they
was
elected
when
it
was
changed
in
1992
to
the
appointed,
and
I
think,
as
I've
talked
with
some
of
the
superintendent
schools
that
was
elected
before
it
was
changed
appointed.
F
Chairman,
what
thank
you
chairman,
as
I
sit
here
and
think
through
this,
and
either
way
you
and
I
have
talked
about
this
for
a
couple
of
years
now.
I
know
this
is
passion
to
you,
I'm
trying
to
think
through
the
the
long
term.
F
If
we
have
elected
superintendents
99
times,
it
seems
like
the
it's
going
to
be
a
local
person
because
they
got
a
campaign,
and
so
it
seems
like
you're,
limiting
your
ability
to
maybe
bring
in
the
best
person
with
qualifications
from
somewhere
around
the
state.
That
might
be
a
good
subject,
or
even
outside
of
that.
F
C
Cheryl,
thank
you.
I
think
every
county
or
I
feel
very
confident
that
every
county
has
a
qualified
person
to
be
the
superintendent
of
school.
I
mean
we
have
great
teachers
in
all
the
counties
and
we
have
people
that
is
qualified
across
the
state
of
tennessee
and
every
county
to
be
the
superintendent
of
school.
C
I
think
that
say,
for
instance,
grundy
county,
I'm
gonna
use
it
because
of
the
three
that
they've
had
the
people
that
live
in
grundy
county
care
more
about
their
students
than
people
that
are
them
them
students
they
care
more
about
them
than
somebody
from
maybe
another
part
of
the
state
of
tennessee.
It
comes
in
to
be
the
superintendent's
school.
Wouldn't
you
say.
F
C
President
cheryl,
well
you
and
I
and
a
lot
of
other
people
have
to
be
elected,
so
we
have
to
get
out
and
work
to
be
elected,
so
to
come
and
do
our
job
what
we
do
here.
So
what
would
be
the
difference
in
him
or
her
versus
us
to
be
elected?
We
have
to
get
out
and
work
when
we,
maybe
you
know.
Maybe
we
need
to
be
doing
something
else,
but
we
have
to
get
out
and
work
to
be
elected.
I
don't
think
it
would
be
a
hindrance.
D
Leader
again
yeah
chairman
white,
one
thing
I'd
point
out:
is
we
do
this
with
all
of
our
courthouse
employees
like
the
trustee
tax,
assessor
trustee,
whoever
that
is
that
we
elect
we're,
entrusting
them
with
the
county's
money
to
manage
it,
so
the
same
principle
would
apply
here
for
a
school
superintendent,
so
that
argument
can
be
looked
at
in
various
ways,
but
I
think
that
the
citizens,
if
given
the
opportunity
to
elect
they're,
going
to
elect
the
best
qualified
person
for
their
school
superintendent,
so
just
like
we
do
with
the
other
county
offices
that
we
elect.
D
A
You,
mr
chairman,
thank
you
just
a
couple
of
points
I
wanted
to.
I'm
sorry
did
somebody
the
to
echo
chairman
watts
point
I
do
think
it
the
difference
on
the
comparison
of
our
job
and
their
job
at
the
superintendent
level.
A
I
think
that
this
could
solve
one
problem,
but
I
think
it
could
resonate
into
a
few
extra
additional
problems
and
the
one
other
thing
I'll
just
say
is
that
we
just
recently
put
in
the
part
the
option
for
the
partisan
school
board
elections,
and
you
know-
and
I
think
that
that
over
time
will
you
know
possibly
rectify
the
one
of
the
key
problems
that
you're
talking
about.
But
we've
had
you
and
I've
had
a
lot
of
discussions
about
this
as
well.
A
Not
as
many
years
as
chairman
watt
and
you
probably
have
but
but
but
anyhow,
I
think
that
I
had
represented
thank.
G
You,
mr
chairman,
this
this
bill
is,
is
discretionary
words
it's
up
to
the
local
governments,
correct.
Yes,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
we
have
a
lot
of
discussions
up
here
about
giving
local
more
power
and
given
more
authority,
and
so,
if
we
believe
that
here's
a
perfect
vehicle
for
that,
thank
you
for
the
bill.
H
Representative
cheryl,
I
support
your
bill.
It's
a
permissive
bill.
Our
job
is
when
we
have
the
ability
to
let
the
locals
govern
themselves.
We
should
let
the
locals
govern
themselves.
There's
no
mandate
in
this.
That
requires
any
any
district
to
do
this.
I
would
urge
that
you
pass
this
bill
and
move
it
forward.
This
is
a
permissive
bill
that
anybody
can
use
or
nobody
may
use.
Thank
you.
A
C
B
F
A
Bill
fells
for
lack
of
majority.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you
presenting
the
bill.
Thank
you
takes
us
to
item
number.
A
B
Thank
you,
chairman
and
committee.
I
believe
there
is
an
amendment
with
this
bill
and
I
believe
it's
probably
untimely
filed.
A
Is
that
what
we
have
all
right
members
we'll
be
voting
on,
whether
to
take
up
an
untimely
filed
amendment
13
drafting
code,
one
three,
six,
six,
one,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
all
supposed
to
say
no
eyes
have
it
we
are.
Does
this?
Does
amendment
make
your
bill.
A
Members
without
objection
we'll
go
ahead
and
vote
to
adopt
this
amendment.
Oh,
do
I
have
a
motion
in
a
second
properly
motioned,
all
those
in
favor
of
adopting
amendment
13661,
indicate
by
saying
aye.
I
was
opposed
to
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it.
We
are
back
on
your
bill
as
amended
representative
eldridge.
You
are
recognized.
Thank.
B
You,
mr
chairman,
this
particular
bill
when
an
lea
has
to
name
a
child
abuse
coordinator,
and
they
they
send
that
information
to
the
department
of
children's
services.
A
situation
could
come
up
where
it
involves
another
staff
member
at
a
school
and
you're.
A
A
Go
back
and
get
karen
here
all
right.
Let's
go
back
to
item
number
one
house
bill
2341
by
representative
carringer,
all
right
properly,
motion
representative
carringer:
you
were
recognized
on
house
bill
2341.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
to
the
committee
house
bill.
2341
just
expands
the
list
of
individuals
employed
by
a
local
board
of
education
that
are
required
to
receive
in-service
training
on
the
detection,
intervention,
prevention
and
treatment
of
human
trafficking,
in
which
the
victim
is
a
child
to
all
school
personnel,
and
with
that
I
would
finally
be
able
to
take
any
questions.
Thank.
H
The
thank
you
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
question
of
clarity.
Here
it
says
that
all
school
personnel
can
you
describe
what
that
means,
because
we
have
contracts
with
outside
vendors.
Are
they
going
to
have
to
go
through
this
training
too
lawn
care
companies
did
that
take
care.
B
And
let
me
go,
I
I
need
to
see
if,
if
she
was
on
to
speak,
do
we
have
janine.
A
B
Okay,
no
it
it's
only
teachers
and
the
ones
that
are
already
required
to
to
take
some
of
this
training
outside
we
it's
not
about
any
contractors
outside.
B
E
Yeah.
Thank
you,
my
my
question
is
on
the
same
lines
as
to
whether
or
not
paraprofessionals
and
those
types
of
individuals
who
are
in
the
school
and
do
qualify
as
personnel
if
they
are
required
to
receive
this
training.
A
We
we
do
have
a
definition
for
person
for
school
personnel.
We
will
go
out
of
session
and
let
legal
read
that
so
without
objection
we'll
go
out
of
session.
A
Any
questions
for
legal,
so
not
on
legal.
No,
let
me
go
back
into
session
then
back
in
session.
I
I
think
what
we
might
be
looking
at
is.
We
might
need
to
look
at
rolling
this
a
week
to
see
if
we
can
get
some
clarity
on
what
the
definition
of
school
personality
is
from
the
department
and
make
sure
we
get
that.
A
No
problem,
you
still
are
in
good
shape
on
the
roll,
so
without
objection
we
were
going
to
roll
house
bill
2341
one
week.
G
A
Members
we're
going
to
take
up
an
item.
We
do
have
some
guests
with
us
to
testify,
so
we
will
take
up
item
number
10
house
bill
1836
by
representative
clemens.
E
E
As
I
said,
this
legislation
is
rooted
in
science
and
data.
The
following
organizations
specifically
endorse
and
recommend
the
legislation's
specific
start
times
and
or
acknowledge
the
adverse
impact
of
sleep
deprivation
and
two
early
school
start
times
on
the
mental
health
and
well-being
and
performance
of
students,
the
national
education
association,
the
american
academy
of
pediatrics,
the
american
psychological
association,
the
national
association
of
school
nurses,
the
american
thoracic
society,
the
centers
for
disease

The
science
is
as
follows:
changes
in
the
circadian
rhythm
during
adolescence
shifts
teens
internal
clocks
to
later
bed
and
wake
times,
I'm
starting
to
experience
this
with
one
of
my
own
children.
So
I
researched
this
because
of
the
way
adolescents
bodies
release
melatonin
waking.
A
teen
at
seven
a.m
is
akin
to
waking
one
of
us
at
four
a.m.
E
That's
what
the
science
supports.
So,
if
you
can
imagine,
we
are
asking
in
some
instances
our
children
to
be
in
the
classroom
in
their
desk
learning
and
ready
to
fully
perform
at
7.
Am
now
I
wake
up
like
some
of
you
early
and
go
to
the
gym,
but
at
4am
I
am
not
ready
to
fully
perform
and
learn
and
soak
in
everything
that
my
teachers
have
to
provide
to
me.
E
The
american
academy
of
pediatrics
recommends
that
teenagers
between
14
and
17
years
of
age
should
get
eight
and
a
half
to
nine
and
a
half
hours
of
sleep
per
night
to
achieve
optimal
health
and
learning
more
sleep
leads
to
increases
in
and
benefits
to
memory
and
learning
attention,
emotional
regulation,
mental
health
and
well-being
and
weight
control
body
mass

adolescents
who
do
not
get

Sleep
are
more
likely
to
be
overweight,

Physical

Symptoms,

E
Mr
chairman,
as
you
said,
I
had
provided
you
a
list
of
two
individuals,
dr
mello,
from
vanderbilt
university,
a
specialist
in
in
this
area.
She
is
unable
to
make
it
today,
but
I
emailed
the
entire
committee
her
testimony.
So
I
hope
you
had
the
opportunity
to
to
read
through
that
or
review
it,
but
miss
anna
thorson,
who
is
on
the
list,
is
here
today
and
she
is
a
parent
who
is
experiencing
this
currently
with
her
children.
And
I
would
ask
that
we
go
out
of
session
to
hear
from
her.
A
Members
without
objection,
we
will
go
out
of
session
to
have
our
guest
give
her
testimony.
A
We
are
out
of
session
and
just
make
sure
that
you're
hit
the
button
there
and
your
red
light
will
come
on
and
then
just
state
your
name
for
the
record.
If
you
would-
and
you
have
three
minutes
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
for
any
questions
that
anybody
might
have.
Thank.
I
You
so
much
good
afternoon
to
the
subcommittee
and
chair.
My
name
is
anna
thorson
and
I
am
the
parent
of
three
daughters
with
disabilities,
two
of
whom
are
still
living
and
attend
school
in
metro,
nashville
public
schools,
whose
start
time
is
at
705
a.m,
even
for
teens,
with
good
sleep
habits,
early
school
start
times
cause
chronic
sleep
deprivation
because,
like
he
mentioned,
teens
fall
asleep
later
and
wake
later.
I
The
majority
of
teen
school
districts
mandate
that
teens
start
at
times
that
experts
agree,
increase
the
risk
for
poor
academic
performance,
absenteeism,
drug
abuse
and
car
accidents
for
teens
with
disabilities
and
mental
health
concerns.
The
consequences
of
early
start
times
can
be
even
more
serious,
leading
to
worsened
health
anxiety,
depression,
attempted
suicide
or
death.
One
study
showed
that
a
loss
of
an
hour
of
sleep
actually
increased
suicide
rates
by
53
percent.
These
are
concerns
I
live
with
every
day.
I
I
My
middle
living
daughter
is
a
sophomore
in
high
school
and
she
suffers
from
ptsd
ocd
and
a
tick
disorder
whose
symptoms
are
exacerbated
by
the
chronic
sleep
deprivation
of
our
early
start
times.
Early
start
times
put
my
girls
at
risks,
which
is
why
I
am
grateful
for
this
bill
and
because
a
life
that
this
bill
saves
could
very
well
be
one
of
my
daughters.
I
You
might
think
that
if
you
push
back
start
times,
teams
are
just
going
to
stay
up
even
later,
but
studies
show
again
and
again
that
teens
really
do
get
more
sleep
with
more
sleep.
Teens
are
healthier.
Teens
with
disabilities
are
less
endangered.
Teens
with
mental
health
issues
are
safer.
Graduation
rates
go
up,
sports
performance
goes
up,
academics
and
attendance
improve.
This
has
been
well
documented
for
over
a
decade
and
last
year
the
surgeon
general
even
declared
a
national
health
emergency
for
our
students
with
mental
health
concerns
and
urged
school
districts
to
push
back
start
times.
I
I
I
understand
that
healthy
school
start
times
will
take
effort
and
in
some
areas,
resources,
but
many
districts,
nationwide
from
small
rural
districts
to
complex
urban
districts
have
pushed
back
start
times
to
protect
teens,
but
also
to
remain
to
keep
robust
athletics,
which
we
all
care
about
after
school
jobs
and
thriving
extracurricular
programs.
The
rand
corporation,
even
estimates
that
pushing
back
start
times
could
save
tennessee
120
million
dollars
in
the
first
two
years.
Please
pass
house
bill
1836
to
protect
our
teens.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
consideration.
A
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
thank
you
for
being
here.
Members.
Do
you
have
any
questions
for
our
guests?
We
just
appreciate
you
having
an
interest
enough
in
your
in
this
issue
and
with
your
kids
to
come
forward
and
take
your
time
with
us
today.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
and
without
object
without
object
for
the
you
have
a
question
for
the
sponsor
without
objection.
Thank
you
for
coming.
H
We
are
making
this
a
statewide
mandate.
We
are
taking
a
permissive
bill
that
every
school
system
across
the
state
of
tennessee
already
has
the
emails
that
I've
received
have
been
from
metro
nashville,
98
of
them.
If
this
is
an
issue
with
metro,
nashville,
go
to
your
school
board
and
tell
them
to
change
the
rule,
change
the
law
change
their
start
times,
but
to
mandate
95
other
counties
do
this
because
of
one
one
school
board
that
doesn't
want
to
listen
to
their
parents.
H
H
Districts
have
events
and
athletic
competitions
in
different
time
zones.
A
later,
dismissal
would
affect
the
ability
to
stay
in
class
for
education,
central
standard
time
versus
eastern
standard
time.
Additional
buses
needed
to
run
routes
and
additional
drivers,
mcminn
county
from
research
would
need
an
additional
4.5
million
on
transportation,
athens
city,
an
additional
1.8
million
additional
cafeteria
staff
to
serve
and
cook
breakfast
students,
no
longer
students
at
school
longer
for
after
schools
move
into
dinner
time.
H
Families
are
already
waiting
to
drop
off
students
before
doors
open,
creates
a
problem
in
the
am
and
pm
for
more
child
care
impacts
after
school
activities,
tutoring
oversteps,
local
control
and
daily
operations
of
the
district
athletic
practices
are
already
after
school,
and
I
live
this
every
day.
With
my
sons,
athletics,
athletic
practices
are
already
after
school
to
extend
the
time
would
get
students
home
even
later
than
they
currently
get
home
of
roughly
seven
o'clock
right
now,.
G
A
E
Thank
you,
chairman
and,
and
I
certainly
understand
you
know
anytime,
you
we
want
to
mandate
something,
and
you
know
that's
certainly
concerning,
and
I
I
appreciate
that
concern.
However,
you
know,
as
you
said,
the
the
science
is
undisputed,
and
so
you
know
we
always
look
for
ways
up
here.
We
debate
a
lot
of
controversial
stuff.
We
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
benefit
educational
outcomes
in
the
classrooms
and
improve
student
performance,
and
we
know
some
of
those
ways
and
and
the
science
and
data
shows
that
this
is
one
of
those
ways.
It's
a
non-controversial
way.
E
You
know
addressing
hunger.
I
have
a
bill
to
provide
free
meals
to
every
student.
That's
another
way
addressing
hunger.
You
know
these
aren't
controversial
things
and
they
fit
within
our
mutual
aim
and
scope.
And
you
know
this
isn't
just
a
nashville
problem.
I
think
over
75
percent
of
tennessee
school
districts
start
school
before
these
school
times.
I
would
point
out
this
limits
in
classroom
learning
to
8
30.,
so
you
could
technically
start
school
at
8
am
or
maybe
even
7
45.
E
If
you
have
a
built-in
homeroom
period
or
something
like
that,
but
the
point
is
I,
I
understand
your
concerns
with
with
the
mandate,
but
this
isn't
just
a
nashville
problem.
This
is
an
issue
affecting
many
students
across
the
state
of
tennessee.
We
know
that
science
and
data
shows
we
can
improve
educational
performance
outcomes,
mental
health
and
well-being
of
our
students,
as
well
as
athletic
performance
and
a
whole
host
of
other
things.
E
E
Fifteen
point:
nine
billion
of
that
are
occurring
over
six
billion
of
this
is
in
the
education
fund.
Our
rainy
day
fund
balance
is
1.55
billion
dollars
at
the
end
of
june
of
this
year,
going
up
to
1.6
according
to
the
governor
in
his
latest
budget
and
from
august
to
december
of
this
fiscal
year
alone,
our
state
over
collected
1.65
billion
dollars
of
your
tax
money.
So
the
question
is:
what
are
our
priorities
as
a
state?
E
I
think
our
priority
is
education
should
be,
and
now
we
have
an
undisputed
proven
way
to
improve
educational
performance,
mental
health
and
well-being
of
our
children,
but
we're
going
to
use
cost
as
an
excuse.
I
I'm
I
understand
the
concern.
I
understand
the
concern
of
local
school
districts.
I
don't
like
mandates,
I
like
local
control
as
well,
but
we
know
what
can
help
address
the
issues
we're
trying
to
address.
E
Let's
not
use
excuses.
I
think
this
is
a
simple
straightforward
way
to
do
this
and
I
understand
you're
gonna
have
to
answer
questions
to
your
districts
and
I
understand
we
would
have
to
put
some
pressure
on
the
governor
to
spend
some
money
and
we
control
the
budget.
We
remember
that
we
talk
about
all
the
time,
so,
let's
prioritize
education.
Let's
do
it
in
a
way
that
makes
sense
that
we
know
will
work.
A
Thank
you.
What's
where
we
stand
right
now,
is
we've
had
a
motion,
a
second
to
send
house
bill
1836
to
summer
study,
without
objection
we'll
be
taking
a
vote
on
that
all
those
in
favor
of
sending
house
bill
1836
to
summer
study,
indicate
by
saying
aye.
I
was
supposed
to
say
no,
no,
the
eyes
have
it
bill's
sent
to
summer
study
all
right.
That's
going
to
take
us
to
item
number
12
on
our
calendar
house
bill
by
representative
alexander.
This
will
be
house
bill.
2201.
A
J
J
A
So
members
before
us
is
drafting
code,
one
four,
seven,
four,
six,
an
untimely
filed
amendment,
all
those
in
favor
of
let
me
have
a
motion
all
right,
properly,
motioned,
all
those
in
favor
of
hearing
this
amendment
indicate
by
saying
aye
all
supposed
to
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
all
right.
We
are
considering
amendment
14746.
A
Do
I
have
a
motion
in
a
second
properly
motioned,
and
does
this
make
your
bill?
Yes,.
A
J
Great
under
current
law,
revenues
generated
through
sports
gambling
are
distributed
in
the
following
manner,
and
so
it's
80,
it's
posted
in
the
lottery
for
education
account
15
is
sent
to
local
governments
on
per
capita
basis
to
be
used
for
local
infrastructure
projects,
and
five
percent
is
sent
to
the
department
of
mental
health
and
substance
abuse
services
to
provide
treatment,
services
and
prevention
interventions
for
gambling
problems.
J
J
According
to
the
fiscal
note,
40
plus
million
will
be
generated
each
year
and
directed
to
the
lottery
for
an
education
account
with
the
lottery
for
education
account
operating
with
annual
surpluses
of
tens
of
millions
of
dollars.
These
revenues
are
simply
rolling
into
the
tennessee
promise
endowment.
J
J
For
to
be
on
to
help
our
children
learn,
excuse
me,
I
lost
my
train
of
thoughts.
Picky
walked
across
to
help
us
be
on
track
to
get
our
children
reading
about
the
third
grade
reading
level,
that's
basically
what
this
bill
does
is
we're
just
asking
40
to
be
a
set
aside.
A
K
K
J
J
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
thank
you
represent
alexander
for
for
leading
the
way
on
this.
I
represent
an
area
in
shelby,
county
west
tennessee,
where
pre-k
is
very,
very
important
and
this
particular
rewrite
of
our
funding
formula.
That's
going
through
right.
Now,
that's
really
a
k-12
bill.
It
really
doesn't
address
pre-k,
so
we
still
haven't,
don't
have
extra
dollars
pre-k
there,
and
so
I'm
going
to
support
your
bill.
And
hopefully
you
know
we
can
find
some
funds
for
our
for
our
pre-k
students.
F
A
F
H
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
your
passion
for
this.
We
continue
to
get
conflicting
educa.
We
continue
to
get
conflicting
information
about
pre-k.
I
wish
we
could
have
a
study
done
done
on
recent
numbers
of
students
in
the
last
couple
years
to
see
exactly
how
bad
covet
has
affected
our
children
in
tennessee.
H
The
information
that
we
have
right
now
is
very
inconclusive
one
way
or
the
other
whether
or
not
pre-k
works
by
third
grade
or
not.
There
may
be
an
issue
that
maybe
pre-k
does
work,
but
first
through
third
is
not
working
and
that's
why
we're
not
seeing
those
gains?
H
H
It
is
I'm
sorry
it
is.
It
says
it's
section,
two
b,
it
says
the
department
is
encouraged
to
prioritize
the
awarding
of
grants
to
leas
operating
a
voluntary
pre-k
program
that
is
located
in
a
county
designated
as
a
distressed,
rural
county
or
located
in
the
county
designated
as
distressed
or
at
risk
county
by
the
appalachian.
Regional
commission
is
that,
what's
in
the.
A
H
Chairman
chairman
speaking,
my
point
was:
is
this
is
for
distressed
rural
counties
or
located
in
the
county
designated
as
distressed
or
at-risk
county,
so
there
may
be
a
limiting
factor
in
there
that
could
affect
our
large
urban
urban
cities
that
face
some
of
the
toughest
challenges
we
have
in
their
home
lives
and
plus.
This
is
also,
I
believe,
a
lottery,
a
lottery
issue
here
too.
J
I
think
it
goes
across
the
state,
but
and
certainly
did
not
mean
it
just
to
be
for
rural
areas.
So
I
I
just
didn't
catch
that
scott
representative
speaking
sorry,
I
shouldn't
say
scott.
A
A
L
Wasn't
so
much
for
the
sponsor,
but
for
the
chair,
since
this
is
a
lottery
bill,
do
we
not
have
to
send
it
to
the
lottery
calendar.
A
A
A
All
right
that
brings
us
to
item
number
13
by
chairman
rudd
that'll
be
house
bill
on
house
bill.
2760..
Do
I
have
a
motion
properly
motion
chairman
rod,
you
were
recognized
on
house
bill
2760..
Thank
you.
L
Mr
chairman
committee,
this
legislation
was
brought
to
me
by
my
school
superintendent
members
of
my
school
board
to
address
a
long-term
problem
that
they've
had,
and
that
is
a
result
of
complaints
and
continuous
call
for
help
by
teachers
and
the
county
administrator
to
find
a
solution.
A
long-term
problem
that
I've
been
hearing
since
I've
been
in
office.
What
to
do
with
students
that
are
continuously
threatening
schools,
threatening
fellow
students,
spread
rumors
that
endanger
the
safety
of
schools
and
students
about
the
school
on
social
media.
L
Some
counties
have
alternative
schools
where
they
place
troubled
students
and
some
have
alternative
programs
where
they
don't
have
individual
schools
that
place
troublesome
or
alternative
students
in
the
event
that
a
school
is
full
or
an
event
that
the
program
I
no
longer
can
handle
them
in
the
school.
This
would
allow
schools
to
teach
these
disruptive
students
from
home
via
remote
learning
and
that's
what
the
bill
is
aimed
to
do.
L
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
chairman
rudd,
having
instructed
in
an
alternative
school,
I
fully
appreciate
the
the
challenges
that
are
faced
there.
My
question,
however,
has
to
do
with
the
fact
that
we
have
truancy
problems,
which
is
a
lot
of
them
lined
up
in
in
those
alternative
schools
over
that,
if
you
send
them
home
to
be
online
and
they
choose
to
check
in
and
then
just
leave
it
on.
How
are
we
going
to
solve
that
problem?
L
Chairman
rudd,
well
the
bill
as
far
as
that,
the
bill
is
asked
that
the
state
board
of
education
promulgate
rules
to
track
the
guidelines
and
their
attendance
in
these
programs,
if
or
not
the
normal
laws
that
already
in
place
would
take
care
of
that
chairman
reagan.
Thank
you,
and
this
is
purely
permissive.
You
know.
A
The
questions
for
chairman
rudd,
seeing
none,
we
will
be
voting
on
house
bill
2760,
all
those
a
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
all
opposed,
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
on
the
full
education.
Thank
you
committee.
Thank
you.
It
takes
us
back
to
item
number
right
here
back
to
item
number
three
house
bill,
2085
by
chairman
what
you
have
a
second,
properly
motioned
chairman
white.
You
are
recognized
on
house
bill,
2085.
F
Thank
you,
chairman
and
committee,
and
I
present
from
down
here
since
I
was
out
of
order
on
my
handwriting
comment.
I'm
a
big
fan
of
cursive.
Writing.
We
we're
trying
to
get
that
back
in
our
schools
and
everything.
So
every
time
I
see
a
good
hand
right
curse
of
handwriting.
I
just
got
to
point
it
out.
Our
kids
need
that
members
the
bill.
Let
me
give
you
a
little
background
on
2085
and
how
we
got
where
we
are.
F
Last
year
I
carried
a
bill
on
open
enrollment
within
our
within
the
lea
and
the
reason
I
did.
I
always
believe
that
a
parent,
if
they
need
to
go
if
they're
zoned
one
area
in
their
district
where
they
are
in
their
lea,
if
there's
another
school,
they
want
to
go
to.
I'm
sure
chairman
white.
A
A
If
you'll
indulge
me
here,
one
four,
two,
five
one
that
is
correct
all
right
properly,
motioned,
let's
go
ahead
and
get
this
on
the
bill,
all
those
in
favor
of
adopting
amendment
one
four,
two,
five
one
indicate
by
saying
aye
as
opposed
to
saying
no,
the
eyes
have
it.
We
are
back
on
your
bill
as
amended
continue
on
chairman
white.
Thank
you.
F
Very
much,
and
so
as
a
proponent,
I'm
I'm
very
supportive
of
an
open,
enrollment
policy.
So
I
carried
a
bill
last
year
or
for
that
and
before
we
got
out
of
session
last
year,
I
started
getting
a
lot
of
contacts
from
a
lot
of
superintendents
around
the
state
said.
You
know
we
believe
in
open
enrollment
too,
but
your
bill
is
a
little
too
restrictive
on
us.
We
are
doing
that,
but
but
we're
having
a
we're
having
an
issue
with
the
way
you
the
bill
is
written.
F
So
I
amended
the
bill
last
year
and
said
it
won't
go
into
effect
until
the
summer
of
2022
2023
to
give
me
a
year
to
work
on
that.
So,
as
I
went
around
the
state
during
the
summer,
I
was
up
in
northeast
tennessee.
I
met
with
16
school
siblings
up
there
and
they
said
please
amend
this
in
some
important
fashion.
I
met
with
those
in
west
tennessee.
I've
got
a
lot
of
superintendents
say
you
know
we're
doing
this,
but
the
way
your
bill
is
written
is
causing
us
problems.
F
So
basically,
all
I've
done
here
and
I've
worked
on
this
all
session
is
all
of
us.
We
we
have
these
bills
and
we
amend
the
men
and
trying
to
get
up
up
till
three
days
ago.
I
had
all
the
participants
that
had
objections
or
favored
the
open
world
bill
and
the
conference
room
next
to
my
office,
and
I
was
in
there
and
I
was
trying
to
get
a
compromise,
and
so
I
had
to
leave
about
five
minutes
early
to
to
to
another
meeting.
F
So
it
says
you
know,
work
it
out
and
we'll
amend
it
and
then
we'll
run
it
well.
I
left
the
room
thinking
that
it
was.
Everything
was
okay,
because
no
one
has
come
to
me
since
then.
Well
today,
we
get
this
sent
out
and
everything
a
particular
lobbying
group's
objecting
to
it.
So
basically
here's
here's
all
it
does
and
see.
F
If
you
can,
if
you
think
this
is
appropriate
number
one,
each
lea
shall
adopt
and
implement
a
policy
that
provides
for
an
open,
enrollment
period
for
at
least
30
days,
during
which
a
parent
or
guardian
of
a
school-aged
child
may
choose
from
a
list
of
alien
schools.
With
available
space
to
enroll
in
the
parent
regarding
child,
that's
section
1a,
and
they
want
this
to
be
placed
in
a
student
handbook
that
is
distributed
to
the
students
and
parents
at
the
beginning
of
the
school
year
so
that
they
know
about
it
item
three.
F
It
also
is
to
establish
a
process
for
the
lea
to
identify
the
number
of
spaces
available
for
enrollment
in
each
of
the
lea
schools
by
grade
class
and
program
levels,
and
then
it
asks
that
is
to
allow
a
parent
or
guardian
to
request
a
transfer
by
submitting
an
application
to
the
school
identified
by
the
lea
is
having
space
available
to
enroll
and
serve
additional
students
and
then
to
finish
up
just
three
more
points.
Formal
points.
F
The
fourth
part
of
the
bill
is
a
process
for
parents
and
guardians
of
school-aged
children
to
apply
for
an
available
enrollment
slot.
Pursuant
to
the
lease
open,
enrollment
policy,
five,
an
lea
may
reserve
this
is
for
the
lea.
They
may
reserve
a
reasonable
number
of
enrollment
spaces
each
school
year
from
the
number
of
spaces
if
any
identified
by
the
alia
is
available
for
enrollment
at
the
school
of
the
lea
and
then
the
last
two.
F
If
an
lea
allows
a
child
to
transfer
pursuant
to
the
la's
open,
enrollment
policy,
then
the
child's
parent
or
guardian
is
responsible,
providing
the
child's
transportation
to
the
school.
The
parent
is
responsible
for
that
of
transportation.
And
lastly,
if
a
school
has
prerequisite
requirements,
then
a
child
applying
to
transfer
to
that
to
the
other
school.
Pursuing
the
lease
open.
Enrollment
policy
must
meet
the
school's
prerequisite.
F
Requirements
to
enroll
in
school
so
simply
and
just
trying
to
come
up
with
a
fair
bill
that
that
doesn't
go
too
far.
What
I
found
is
so
many
times
in
these
bills
is
one
size
doesn't
fit
all.
I
found
that
in
in
working
this
bill
it
may
fit
in
one
lea,
but
the
other
145
they
have
a
policy
that
fits
them
better.
F
F
So
that's
all
we're
trying
to
do
a
minute
trying
to
compromise
with
so
that
we
don't
have
a
bill
in
place
that
that
gives
a
lot
of
our
superintendents
or
leas.
A
Thank
you,
members
representative,
cassidy,
you're
recognized
thank.
G
You,
mr
chairman,
chairman,
I
got,
I
got
two
questions
and,
and
maybe
I've
misread
the
bill
or
misunderstand
my
first
question-
is:
if
a
student
takes
one
of
these
seats
and
moves
into
the
to
this
school,
that's
open.
Are
they
guaranteed
to
be
there
year
after
year,
or
is
this
a
year
by
your
choice
chairman?
What.
A
That
so
without
objection
we
will
go
out
of
session
and
have
been
torrez
come
up.
A
If
you
would,
you
might
restate
that
question
for
mr
torres
first
of
all
go
ahead
and
state
your
name
for
the
record.
Please.
G
G
My
one
question
is
so
a
seat
opens
up
in
a
school,
a
young
person
and
family
apply
they
get
accepted.
Is
that
person
now
guaranteed
that
spot
until
he
graduates
from
that
school,
or
is
this
a
year
by
year
lottery?
If
you
will.
M
G
My
second
question
was
chairman
and
then
I'll
when
we
go
back
into
session,
the
sponsor
may
want
to
address
it.
I'm-
and
I
share
this
with
you
ben
I'm,
just
a
little
concerned
that
some
school
districts
may
not
be
fair
and
equitable
on
allowing
who
applies
to
that
seat.
I
think
it's
imperative
that
that
open
seat
it
has
an
equal
chance
to
be
to
be
gained
by
anyone
in
that
school
system,
and
I
just
since
it's
not
spelled
out,
I
just
feel
there
may
be
some
cherry
picking
going
on.
That's
just
a
concern
I
have.
G
M
Yeah
one
of
the
things
we
added
in
there
is
the
lea
in
the
policy,
will
have
to
establish
a
process
to
apply
for
the
enrollment
and
a
process
for
how
the
lea
will
review
and
approve
open,
enrollment
applications,
so
that
will
have
to
be
spelled
out
ahead
of
time
of
how
they're
going
to
review
them.
How
they're
going
to
approve
them.
This
would
be
included
in
the
handbook
under
b1
that
goes
out
to
everybody
ahead
of
time,
along
with
the
policy
so
to
address
that
concern.
M
A
G
This
is
my
last
I
just
I
understand.
They'll
spell
it
out.
I
understand
this
be
transparent.
I
like
that
about
the
bill,
but
that's
my
concern
is
that
they
would
maybe
unknowingly,
unwittingly
and
purposefully,
still
have
a
cherry
pick
effect
in
in
who
gets
those
seats,
and
I
just
feel
like
we
should
spell
that
out
by
limiting
it
to
a
lottery
or
or
a
couple
of
things,
and
then
let
them
choose
from
that
category
of
choices,
how
to
fill
those
empty
seats.
Just
my
opinion
sponsor.
Thank
you,
chairman
chairman.
L
Reagan,
thank
you
and
ben
thank
you
for
being
here
and
I
won't
quite
say
what
the
my
predecessor
did
about
coming
to
my
office,
but
I
appreciate
you
coming
to
explain
things.
The
prerequisite
that
schools
are
allowed
to
set
that
that
is
of
some
concern
to
me.
Can
you
give
us
detail
on
that.
M
So
that
was
established,
so
some
districts
have
magnet
schools.
So
if
there's
an
academic
requirement
to
go
into
those
magnet
schools,
it
was
meant
for
that
purpose
or
if
a
school
has
a
certain
program,
because
the
bill
requires
that
they
have
to
post
based
on
if
a
program
is
available
in
their
seats
in
a
program.
So
at
the
high
school
level.
L
Reagan,
thank
you
and
again
I'm
seeking
clarity
on
this
because,
as
my
colleague
mentioned,
there's
a
potential
here
for
abuse
on
this,
to
use
his
words
for
cherry
picking
and
that
that
is
a
concern
of.
I
fully
support
the
idea
that
transfers
among
students
from
between
between
and
among
public
schools,
is
something
we
should
be
supporting.
If
it's
a
public
school,
it's
a
public
school
and
students
should
go,
but
I
am
concerned
about
the
vagueness.
L
That's
in
here
that
that
program
requirement
is,
is
fine,
but
I
can
foresee
the
possibility
that
those
program
requirements
can
be
misapplied
and
since
this
bill
is
so
vague,
it
looks
like
it
would
be
fairly
easy
to
do
that.
You
have
something
to
give
me
comfort
on
that.
Well,
one.
M
Sorry,
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
we
added
in
there
the
policy
has
to
be
distributed
in
the
student
handbook
and
the
procedure
has
to
be
distributed
in
the
student
handbook
at
the
beginning
of
the
school
year.
So
you're
going
to
have
the
policy
on
open,
enrollment
and
the
procedure
on
how
they
choose
and
allocate
those
seats
completely
available
ahead
of
time
before
the
open,
enrollment
period
even
starts.
M
So
that's
back
to
the
transparency
piece,
so
people
will
be
aware
of
how
this
process
will
work
well
in
advance,
and
hopefully
I
mean
when
it
comes
to
specific
program
requirements.
If
there
are
program
requirements,
they
would
also
spell
that
out
in
the
procedures
for
how
students
would
be
able
to
enroll
in
those
programs
if
it's
at
another
high
school,
for
instance
on
the
other
side
of
the
county,.
L
L
L
M
Well,
part
of
that
not
only
with
the
policy
is
the
procedural
aspect.
The
procedural
aspect
comes
into
play
of.
How
are
they
going
to
execute
the
policy
so
when
they
have
to
develop
this
procedure,
they're
going
to
have
to
develop
we're
going
to
review
applications,
and
this
is
how
we're
going
to
review
them,
we're
going
to
approve
applications,
and
this
is
how
we
approve
them
so,
based
on
that,
if
there
are
program
requirements,
they're
going
to
have
to
put
that
in
the
procedure
ahead
of
time
and
state,
you
know
for
this
specific
program.
L
H
Thank
you
ben
I'm
kind
of
reiterating
on
the
same
pathway
here
a
lot.
It's
very
vague
here.
We
just
had
a
committee
meeting
before
this
on
charter
on
charter
schools,
and
the
question
was
asked
was
well.
If
these
children
are
admitted
into
the
charter
school
and
they
go
to
the
next
year,
are
they
at
risk
of
losing
their
spot,
and
the
answer
was
no.
H
M
I
don't
think
you
would
disrupt
the
education,
it
would
be
established
by
the
district,
whether
or
not
they
want
those
students
to
stay
in
so
right
now,
if
that's
what
they
put
on
the
front
end
and
by
by
stay
in
I
mean
if
they
want
to
continue
on
with
the
open,
enrollment
and
allow
the
student
to
apply
one
time
and
then
that's
the
only
time
they
have
to
apply
versus
having
to
apply
every
year.
It
would
be
up
to
the
district
to
to
make
that
decision.
H
So
a
statement
here,
mr
mr
chairman,
I
understand
I
understand
where
this
bill's
going,
but
I've
got
a
lot
of
apprehension
with
this
bill
about
school,
school
boards
and
and
setting
policy
to
be
able
to
cherry
pick
a
certain
kind
of
student
to
come
to
their
schools.
Out
of
deference
to
the
chairman
I'll
just
be
a
quiet
note.
M
M
I'd
representative,
I
don't
have
any
examples
that
were
sent
to
me
personally
from
districts
I
mean
I
can
reach
out
to
see
if
any
districts
have
received
any
anything
from
anyone
inside
the
district.
If
that
would
be
helpful.
A
F
Yeah,
just
just
to
finish
up
where
I'm
coming
from
on
this
particular
bill
and
trying
to
find
a
solution,
I'm
very
supportive
of
a
parent's
right
to
choose.
That's
why
I
support
charters
and
esa's,
and
all
that
and
open
enrollment
is
part
of
that.
F
But
just
like
we
just
had
a
bill
a
second
ago
about
start
times
for
schools.
We
said
no.
We
need
to
leave
that
up
to
the
locals.
Now
what
I
found
out
after
we
passed
that
bill
and
if
I'm
in
a
meeting
and
there's
16
out
of
16
superintendents
telling
me
this
is
not
working
for
us,
then
I
need
to
pull
back
and
listen
to
my
districts
and
my
superintendents
across
the
state.
F
We
have
146
superintendents
and
when
you
draft
bill
and
a
lot
of
times
we're
working
up
here,
but
I'm
not
down
the
day-to-day
of
what
a
particular
district
is
trying
is
trying
to
do
so.
What
I'm
trying
to
do
is
listen
to
the
superintendents
across
the
state.
I
know-
and
I
know
there's
issues
about
you
know
you
know
worried
about
cherry
picking
or
or
things
of
that
nature.
F
But
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
to
listen
to
our
superintendents
across
the
state
to
give
them
a
little
flexibility
on
how
they
engage
in
their
open
enrollment
policies,
and
so
this
has
been
amended
multiple
times
trying
to
get
there
bringing
in
all
the
the
the
parties-
and
this
is
what
we
came
up
with,
but
I'm
listening
to
the
superintendents
across
the
state
and
that
just
like
the
other
bills,
we
we
we
address.
Sometimes
we
leave
it
up
to
locals
to
have
a
little
bit
of
flexibility.
A
Any
other
questions
for
our
sponsor,
seeing
none
we'll
be
voting
without
objection,
we'll
be
voting
on
house
bill
2085,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
I
was
supposed
to
say
no.
A
G
Mr,
mr
chairman,
I
got
a
point
of
of
interest,
it's
it's
5
15
and
I'm
hoping
this
takes
10
minutes.
I
want
free
pizza
sometime
before
I
leave
this
legislature.
A
H
Pika
you
recognized
chairman
howe's
bill.
There
is
no
conflict
right.
A
It
is,
there
is
no
conflict
with
chairman
howe's
bill
chairman
house
bill.
I
believe
just
stated
that
they
could
have
the
ability
to
put
it
into
their
budget.
F
Okay,
members,
any
further
discussion
house
bill,
1710
questions
been
called
any
objection.
Seeing
none
all
is
in
favor
of
moving
house
bill,
1710
out
to
full
committee
and
keep
it
saying.
Aye
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
moves
out
chairman?
You
now
have
no
item
number
15
house
bill.
2709
got
a
motion
in
a
second.
You
have
an
amendment.
A
Yes,
it's
an
untimely
file
amendment
I
believe,
mr
chairman,
one
four
four
four
one
is
what
I've
got.
Is
that
correct.
L
F
A
A
A
The
the
the
issue
was
is
that
whether
or
not
you
had
to
go
to
three-year-old
income
eligible
next
or
the
vacant
seats
could
be
served
by
those
that
were
waiting
in
line
that
were
four-year-old
a
lot
of
the
schools
in
my
area
had
been
for
several
years,
but
going
four-year-old
income
eligible
then
to
four-year-olds
recently
there's
there
was
a
shift
that
said
that
no,
it
had
to
be
four
euro
income
eligible
and
you
have
to
go
to
three-year-old
income
eligible.
