Description
House K-12 Subcommittee - March 29, 2022 - House Hearing Room 2
B
Representative
clemens
representative,
hart
representative
love,
chairman
reagan,
chairman
white
chairman,
hasten
here.
A
A
I
think
actually
some
of
these
will
be
taken
off
notice,
but
I
think
that
we
might
have
some
people
that
want
to
speak
on
them
beforehand.
So
I
don't
really
have
anything.
Now.
Item
number
one
on
the
calendar
house
bill
591
has
been
gen
subbed
in
the
senate,
so
without
objection
house
bill
591
is
off
notice.
A
A
A
B
A
All
right,
I
don't
see
representative
sexton
yet
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
go
to
item
number
two
on
the
calendar
house
bill
2343
by
representative
carringer
properly
motioned.
D
A
That's
what
we
have
properly
properly
motioned.
Does
it
rewrite
your
bill?
It
doesn't
make
sense.
Okay,
without
objection,
members
we'll
go
ahead
and
vote
to
adopt
amendment
one
five,
nine,
two,
three,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
I
was
opposed
to
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it.
We
are
back
on
your
bill
as
amended.
You
are
recognized.
Okay,.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
house
bill
2343,
which
is
being
co-sponsored
with
senator
watson.
It's
the
education
preparation
program
and
what
we
have
found
was
that
32
percent
of
third
graders
and
26
percent
of
eighth
graders
are
reading
at
least
proficiently
according
to
the
2021
tcap
results.
C
C
So
the
2021
teacher,
prep
review
program
performance
and
early
reading
instruction
study
lists
five
major
components
of
literacy.
Education,
one
is
the
phenomic
awareness,
one
is
phonics,
one
is
fluency,
fourth
is
vocabulary
and
five
is
comprehensive.
On
average
mississippi's
teacher
prep
programs
cover
all
five
of
these
components
as
well.
Tennessee's
program
covers
less
than
three.
According
to
the
2020
teacher
prep
study,
mississippi
is
one
of
seven
states
that
saw
an
increase
in
fourth
grade
literacy
between
2013
and
2019..
C
So
with
that
central
watson
and
I
have
been
just
working
to
make
sure
that
these
teacher
preps
include
teaching
those
future
teachers
on
how
to
teach
reading
and
all.
A
Thank
you,
representative
carringer
members
who
have
any
questions
for
the
sponsor
about
the
bill.
Seeing
none,
I
think
we're
set
to
vote
on
house
bill
2343.
All
those
in
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
all
supposed
to
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
going
to
full
education,
and
that
brings
us
to
item
number
three.
A
Also
by
representative
carringer
house
bill.
2345..
C
Thank
you
chairman
and
to
the
committee
chairmans,
so
this
bill
was
brought
to
me
for
one
simple
reason
and
it
was
to
establish
transparent
way
for
parents
and
students
who
are
desi
satisfied
with
their
current
school
system
to
see
what
their
options
might
be
outside
their
district.
Currently
leas
are
allowed
to
admit
students
from
outside
of
school
systems.
This
bill
would
give
greater
transparency
to
the
process
and
require
leas
to
adopt
an
open,
enrollment
procedure
for
non-resident
students
and
publish
that
procedure
on
their
websites,
along
with
the
identification
and
available
spaces.
C
If
there
were,
you
know
available
spaces
that
they
could
have
sent
their
child
if
the
school
offered
something,
and
certainly
not
the
mass
mandate,
that
some
of
them
were
so
much
against.
So
just
having
that
flexibility
for
parents
have
their
choice
now,
what
the
bill
did
not
do
was.
It
did
not
require
schools
to
make
alterations
in
the
structure
or
capacity
of
a
school
two.
It
did
not
require
a
school
to
hire
more
staff
to
teach
non-resident
students.
Three.
C
It
did
not
require
students
to
establish
programs
that
are
not
already
offered
and
four
it
did
not
potentially
interfere
with
existing
arrangements,
so
the
bottom
line
was:
if
a
a
school
did
not
have
room
or
enough
staff
to
accommodate
a
non-resident,
then
they
didn't
have
to
take
them.
So,
mr
chairman,
that
was
my
intent
for
this
bill
to
do
and
and
that
it
was
not
going
to
do
that.
Some
people
may
have
thought
so.
C
I
want
to
take
this
bill
off
a
notice,
but
I
want
to
commit
to
you
and
to
all
the
members
that
I
have
talked
with
toss
and
tsba,
and
this
off
season
here
coming
up
with
the
when
we
get
out
of
session
to
meet
with
them
and
come
up
and
and
make
the
decisions
and
the
things
that
some
were
concerned
about
and
all
and
work
with
it,
and
I
certainly
have
the
intentions
of
bringing
this
bill
back
next
year
and
to
see
what
happens
with
that,
and
so
with
that
chairman
I'll,
be
taking
this
bill
off
notice.
E
Just
a
quick
question
to
make
sure
we
work
on
one
of
the
issues
that
brought
to
my
attention
is:
the
idea
behind
this
is
very
sound,
but
with
with
memphis
with
chattanooga
our
border,
our
border
leas
put
something
in
the
bill
that
makes
sure
we
give
a
priority
to
tennessee
students.
That's
all.
D
What
and
and
thank
you
chairman,
and
I
also
appreciate
it
as
you
know,
I
had
a
bill
dealing
with
open,
enrollment,
also
and
trying
I
heard
last
year
from
a
lot
of
superintendents
wanting
us
to
kind
of
work
out
things
also,
so
we'll
have
that
conversation
going
forward
also,
so
I
appreciate
it
so
make
sure
we
can
look
at
that
also,
so
a
lot
of
good
stuff
going
on.
You
did
a
much
better
job
than
I
did
with
mine,
representing
kanji.
C
Wow
that
has
been
a
big
day
for
me,
because
that's
a
huge
compliment
that
I
think
that
I
appreciate
that
chairman.
A
C
A
Let's
look
over
to
let's
move
over
to
item
number
seven
without
objection.
We'll
move
to
item
number,
seven
by
representative
sexton
house
bill
2673.
A
Do
I
have
a
motion
properly
motioned
and
I
believe,
representative
sexton,
you
do
have
an
amendment
you're
working
off
of.
F
Just
add
something
first
before
it
started,
I
would
hope
that
representative
chairman,
more
quiet,
would
do
the
same
honors
for
me
that
done
for
michelle
okay,
would
you
please
jerry.
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
committee.
I
do
have
an
amendment
and
does
make
the
bills
drafting
code
number
one.
Six,
two,
five
five.
A
That's
what
we
have
as
well
and
I
believe
it
does
rewrite
the
bill.
So
without
objection,
members,
let's
go
ahead
and
vote
to
adopt
amendment
one
six,
two,
five:
five,
all
those
in
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye,
as
opposed
to
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it.
We
are
back
on
your
bill
as
amended.
You
are
recognized.
F
F
The
u.s
department
of
justice
and
the
u.s
department
of
education
have
concluded
that
title
5
of
the
1964
civil
rights
act,
which
prohibits
discrimination
on
the
basis
of
race,
color
or
national
ore,
and
prohibits
discrimination
against
jews.
The
problem
is
that,
according
to
the
fdi
fbi's
hate
crime
statistics,
jews
continue
to
be
the
most
targeted
group
for
hate
for
hate
crimes
in
the
u.s.
The
challenge
is
addressing.
F
So
already
we
have
816
entities
worldwide
that
has
included
this
37
countries,
florida,
texas,
iowa,
the
u.s
department
of
state
u.s,
department
of
justice,
u.s
department
of
education
and
314
educational
institutions
globally.
Adopting
this
global
recognized
definition
gives
the
eye
and
gives
the
leas
an
institution
of
higher
education
in
this
case,
a
tool
that
they
can
use
to
effectively
evaluate
whether
alleged
actions
are
anti-semitic.
F
So
that's
what
the
spill
does.
It
gives
a
definition
and
that
definition
is
set
by
the
ihra
and
it's
globally
recognized
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
done
on
this
over
the
years,
and
I
think
all
interested
parties
has
come
together
and
they've
agreed
that
this
is
the
best
way
to
go
about
it,
and
I'm
carrying
this
bill,
of
course,
for
speaker,
sexton
and
so
I'll
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Question
has
been
called-
oh
I'm
sorry,
oh,
would
you
withdraw?
We
had.
We
did
have
somebody
down
for
testimony
all
right
without
objection,
members,
we
will
go
out
of
session
and
and
bring
up
our
guests
for
testimony
out
of
session.
A
Please
make
sure
just
to
come
up
and
state
your
name
and
who
you
represent
and-
and
we
will
have
three
minutes
for
your
comments
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
for
any
questions.
Welcome.
G
Thank
you.
My
name
is
deborah
olashansky
and
I
serve
as
the
community
relations
director
for
the
jewish
federation
and
jewish
foundation
of
nashville
and
middle
tennessee.
I'm
here,
though,
on
behalf
of
all
four
of
our
jewish
federations
across
the
state,
chattanooga,
knoxville,
memphis
and,
of
course,
nashville,
and
we
thank
you
for
the
time
to
speak
today.
Together,
our
four
federations
represent
the
25
000
jewish
residents
and
citizens
of
tennessee
we'd
like
to
express
our
support
for
house
bill
2673
as
amended,
and
we
want
to
thank
you
for
your
support
of
it.
G
We
think
it's
important
to
have
this
house
bill
approved
so
that
the
state
of
tennessee
can
adopt
the
international
holocaust
remembrance
alliance,
definition
of
anti-semitism,
part
of
my
role
as
crc
director
is
working
with
families
whose
children
have
experienced
anti-semitism
in
the
school,
and
I
believe
that
having
a
more
unified
definition
will
help
the
schools
in
responding
to
those
incidents
and
help
us
to
help
those
families.
So
with
that,
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
if
there
are
any.
That
concludes
my
comments.
A
H
Clemens,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
thank
you
for
being
here
today
and
I'm
just
curious
what
other
things
you
know
this
resolution.
What
other
type
of
things
can
we
do
because
the
anti-semitism's
on
the
rise,
I
think
that's
undisputed.
H
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
So,
even
as
recently
as
yesterday,
actually
there
was
an
anti-semitic
banner
put
on
the
bridge
the
korean
park
boulevard
bridge.
So
it
is,
you
are
correct.
It
is
on
the
rise.
It
is
happening
on
a
daily
basis.
We
have
created
our
own
anti-semitism
reporting
form
for
ourselves
locally,
and
we
do
continue
to
get
reports
from
families
and
from
other
community
members,
so
it
is
very
much
real
and
happening
on
a
daily
basis.
There
was
a
lot
of
I'm
certain.
G
Most
of
you
are
aware
of
the
pulling
of
the
work
of
the
book
mouse
from
mcmahon
county.
We
believe
those
kind,
those
kinds
of
efforts
do
not
help
to
serve
this
effort,
not
just
in
terms
of
anti-semitism
but
really
in
terms
of
all
marginalized
or
minority
communities.
We
think
it's
very
important
that
those
sorts
of
books
remain
available
to
children,
because
that
is
how
children
learn.
That
is
how
they
learn
empathy
and
by
removing
books
like
that.
That
only
makes
this
situation
work
worse.
G
H
H
In
fact,
most
of
you
on
this
committee
have
driven
up
and
down
west
end,
and
it
was
only
a
few
years
ago
where
a
bullet
was
shot
into
the
front
of
the
synagogue
right
on
west
end,
and
you
know
whatever
the
intent
was
behind
that
we
certainly
don't
know,
but
this
is
a
very
real
danger
and
a
very
real
threat
to
many
tennesseans,
and
I
would
encourage
this
body
to
continue
to
look
for
ways
to
combat
this
and
support
jewish
tennesseans.
So
thank
you.
Yeah.
G
Just
one
addition
is
just
we
we,
just
recently
at
our
jewish
community
center,
were
able
to
host
a
group
of
police
officers,
and
so
we
do
feel
we
have
a
good
connection
with
our
mnpd
officers
and
we
were
able
to
bring
them
to
the
nashville
holocaust
memorial,
which
is
on
the
grounds
of
the
jewish
community
center.
We
will
be
holding
a
large
event
there
may
1st.
D
D
G
G
I
do
hope
it
will
help
with
certain
lesson
plans
that
maybe
aren't
the
most
effective
way
of
teaching
some
of
this,
but
I
really
do
hope.
It
will
also
broaden
the
conversation
about
it
and
using
more
books,
not
fewer
books.
So
I
think
that
is
a
concern
all
of
these
sorts
of
any
any
any
sort
of
legislation.
This
way,
there's
always
that
possible
other
side,
but
there's
nothing
really
in
the
definition
that
should
really
hurt
the
teaching
of
these
concepts.
Thank
you.
A
A
F
Up
questions,
yes,
thank
you.
I
I
would
like
to
address
representative
chairman
white's
comments,
because
this
that
did
come
up
and
schools
like
some
of
your
larger
schools
around
here,
will
county
different
ones.
They
would
have.
F
The
ability
to
you
know
maybe
take
on
a
larger
role
or
gender,
where
some
of
your
rural
rural
schools
wouldn't
have
as
much
staff,
and
so
what
we
tried
to
do
was
just
make
sure
that
we
didn't
give
them
a
mandate
and
that
they
had
to
do
certain
things,
but
leave
it
a
little
bit
open-ended,
give
them
the
definition
and
let
them
set
their
own
policies
to
where
that
they
could
handle
it.
Those
questions
came
up.
We
discussed
it
and
that
was
my
understanding,
the
direction
that
we
were
going
to
go.
F
D
A
A
Item
number
four
house
bill:
2295
is
off
notice
and
that
brings
us
to
item
number
five
house
bill
1744
by
representative
clemens,
properly
motioned,
representative
clemens.
You
were
recognized
on
house
bill,
1744.
H
This
bill
essentially
would
make
all
school-based
breakfast
and
lunch
meals
in
our
public
schools
free
of
charge,
and
it
adopts
language
here
accordingly
to
do
just
that,
and
I
think
it's
important
to
announce
that
after
the
leas
would
need
to
exhaust
all
possible
federal
grants
and
funds
before
applying
to
the
state
for
any
of
these
reimbursements
for
these
mills,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
federal
dollars
to
accomplish
this,
and
I
think
that
would
actually
alter
the
fiscal
note
that
I
know
you're
all
familiar
with.
H
But
the
reason
for
this
legislation
is
is
very
important.
You
know
this
state
mandates
children
to
attend
public
schools,
and
in
that
spirit
the
state
passed
a
bill
under
governor
frank
clement
in
1955-56,
providing
free
textbooks
to
every
child
in
the
state
of
tennessee,
because
that's
part
of
getting
a
good
education
is
having
access
to
textbooks.
H
Well,
I
believe
that
providing
meals
to
children
and
addressing
hunger
in
an
equitable
manner
and
ensuring
that
these
students
are
able
to
perform
and
learn
to
the
best
of
their
ability
would
improve
educational
outcomes,
and
it
obviously
has
an
impact.
Data
shows
that
90
percent
of
parents
in
tennessee,
according
to
a
vanderbilt
child
health
poll
or
in
that
was
released
in
just
this
earlier
this
month.
90
percent
of
parents
say
they
support
continuing
providing
lunch
and
breakfast
at
school
for
no
cost,
as
many
schools
did.
H
During
the
pandemic,
the
poll
pulled
more
than
a
thousand
tennessee
parents,
and
nearly
half
of
parents
reported
using
some
food
assistance
program
within
the
last
week
of
being
pulled
with
nearly
a
quarter,
relying
on
free
lunch
at
their
children's
school
and
almost
10
percent
of
parents
polled
said
they
sometimes
or
often
could
not
afford
enough
food.
H
This
poll
had
some
interesting
results
and
providing
free
lunch
for
children
at
school
would
help
meet
the
basic
nutritional
needs.
Children
require
to
succeed
in
the
educational
environment
when
asked
about
their
household's
ability
to
afford
food.
Over
the
past
12
months,
over
30
percent
of
parents
reported
some
level
of
food
insecurity.
H
Even
brief
periods
of
food
insecurity
can
be
attributed
to
mental
and
behavioral
health
challenges
for
children
and
adolescents,
providing
free
breakfast
and
lunch
at
school
for
all.
Children
is
one
method
that
can
be
employed
to
support
the
mental
well-being
and
educational
attainment
of
tennessee
students,
and
it
is
well
supported
again
by
90
percent
of
the
parents.
We
all
talk
about
aces.
We
all
talk
about
ways
to
improve
educational
performance
and
outcomes.
H
H
That
was
a
you
know,
a
result
of
children
being
stigmatized
or
discriminated
against
in
some
way
because
of
having
accrued
a
school
mill,
debt,
which
we
all,
I
think
can
agree
and,
I
think
did
agree.
That's
not
the
fault
of
the
child.
Well,
the
the
solution
that
was
raised
was,
let's
just
make
all
the
mills
free
and
I
think
that's
the
best
possible
solution
and
the
most
equitable
way
to
do
this,
and
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
federal
money
out
there.
H
There's
federal
programs
to
provide
a
lot
of
this
money
that
a
lot
of
school
boards
and
leas
already
take
advantage
of
and
provides
free
school
meals,
and
this
doesn't
inhibit
that
wouldn't
prevent
that
in
any
way,
and
it
would
simply
require
tennessee
the
state
of
tennessee
to
pick
up
the
tab
and
whatever
else
was
required
to
do
so.
So
with
that,
I
would
request
your
support
of
this
legislation.
A
Thank
you,
representative
clemens,
chairman
reagan,
you're
recognized.
B
If
a
guardian
has
the
means,
they
should
not
depend
on
others
to
provide
for
their
children.
The
responsibility
of
parenthood
should
not
shift
to
the
taxpayer.
Parents
are
already
readily
taking
advantage
of
resources.
A
lot
of
low-income
families.
Already
this
bill
would
reassure
behavior
by
parents
who
can't
afford
it
to
dodge
their
responsibilities.
B
C
Thank
you,
chairman,
and,
and
I
understand
what
my
colleague
to
my
left
and
to
my
right
are
saying,
but
I
also
have
have
worked
in
schools
and,
and
I
see
what
the
burden
this
puts
on
the
teachers
and
the
administration
and
all
the
all
the
schools,
also
in
terms
of
the
child,
getting
up
to
the
line
and
not
having
lunch
money
and,
and
then
they
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
on
making
sure.
C
So
you
know
it
would
be
nice
if
this
was
something
that
was
all
included
in
our
textbooks
and
all
that
kind
of
take
the
pressure
off
of
the
teachers
and
administrations
and
all
these
schools
that
do
deal
with
it.
And
I
understand
there
there
are
lots
of
families
that
this
is
not
a
burden
for
that
can
provide
and
make
sure
their
kids
have
either
their
lunch
or
their
lunch
money
every
day.
C
But
it's
unfortunate
that
not
all
of
our
children
across
the
state
and
even
in
the
the
us
not
everybody's,
very,
is
fortunate
enough
to
have
parents.
C
C
So
I
understand
what
both
colleagues
are
saying
and
it's
a
this
is
a
tough
decision,
because
I
I
see
how
much
time
the
schools
spend
on
this
issue,
and
I
also
have
seen
where
kids,
I
don't
know
if
you
would
say
the
word
bullied
or
whatever,
but
you
know
that
the
kids
know
that
they
don't
have
the
resources
and
they
are
there
for
free
lunch
or
reduced
lunch.
So
you
know
it's
a
tough.
C
I
understand
both
sides.
So
it's
a
it's
a
really
tough
decision
there,
because
what
we
want
is
the
best
for
the
children
and
something
that
maybe
a
child
doesn't
have
to
grow
up
having
that
that
label
and
remembering
that,
so
that's
tough.
I
just
wanted
to
comment.
I
understand
both
sides
and
I
see
both
sides-
and
I
so
thank
you
chairman.
E
Chairman
sabi
a
question
for
the
bill
sponsor,
so
I
I
believe
you
did
speak
about
your
intent
of
there's
already
federal
funding
for
for
free
and
reduced
lunches.
Your
bill
would
not
affect
that
all
that
federal
money
and
all
that
grant
money
would
still
be
expended
first,
and
then
your
intention
would
be.
Is
that
all
the
children
that
don't
qualify
for
that?
That's
where
your
bill
would
come
into
overlay?
Is
that
correct.
A
G
H
Yeah
sorry,
mr
chairman
yeah,
so
there
are
multiple,
there's
free
and
reduced
lunch
programs
and
snap
programs
that
that
are
that
exist
and
would
and
provide
funding
depending
on
how
the
how
the
state
would
structure
it.
So
we
could
still
pull
down
those
dollars
for
the
students
who
qualify
them
to
cover
the
cost
of
their
lunch,
because
that
flows
to
the
state
and
then
there's
also
the
grants.
For
instance,
metro
government
of
nashville
davidson
county
and
other
counties
have
taken
advantage
of
even
before
the
pandemic.
H
That
was
a
department
of
agriculture
grant
that
allowed
all
children
to
get
free
meals.
So
there
are
various
grants
out
there.
In
addition
to
the
snap
program
that
the
federal
government
already
provides
using
existing
tax
dollars,
and
I
would
like
to
see
the
state
of
tennessee
take
all
those
dollars
and
then
anything
left
over
the
city
of
tennessee
could
budget
accordingly
and
pick
up
that
tab.
I
I
honestly
I
the
fiscal
note.
H
E
Jeremy
piggy-
and
I
have
because
this
is
this-
is
our
final
calendar
here
and
I'm
assuming
we're
working
forward
to
closing
this
committee
today,
I'm
willing
on
on
some
good
faith
from
my
colleague
from
davidson.
E
H
Yeah,
I
obviously
would
love
to
see
that
myself.
You
know,
I
think
we
deserve
to
see
the
data
and
how
it's
broken
out
and
what's
possible
and
what's
not.
I
certainly
don't
want
to
put
our
state
into
a
fiscal
corner
in
any
respect
with
any
legislation.
And
obviously
you
know
the
governor's
budget
amendments
released
today
and
this
isn't
in
it.
H
So
I
think
you
know
if
I
got
out
of
education,
I
obviously
have
to
battle
in
in
finance,
but
I
would
love
to
see
some
progress
towards
this
end
because,
regardless
of
where
you
stand
on
the
issue,
you
know
the
data
supports
making
sure
that
every
child
is
hung
is,
is
fed
and
prepared
to
perform
up
to
their
utmost
ability.
And-
and
you
know,
regardless
of
parental
responsibility-
you
know
most
parents,
a
lot
of
parents
can
afford
to
pay
for
their
textbooks.
H
A
lot
of
parents
can
afford
to
pay
for
air
conditioning
and
heating
and
their
child's
on
desk
or
even
sit
in
a
private
school,
but
the
children
attend
public
school
and
our
state
mandates
for
children
to
attend
school,
and
you
know
if
we're
going
to
mandate
them
to
do
this,
we
give
them
free
textbooks.
We
give
them
all
this
other
stuff,
regardless
of
the
fact
that
some
people
can't
afford
it
on
their
own.
I
think
meals
is
a
natural.
It
should
be
part
of
that
part
of
that
deal.
H
We
put
enough
on
our
teachers
enough
on
our
administrators
enough
on
our
students.
I
think
this
is
one
thing
that
we
could
really
help
address
and
it
would
be
equitably
established
so
that
there
is
no
distinction
between
children
and
it
would
benefit
all
of
them
equally.
So
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
I
know
that
for
a
good
number
of
years
in
our
education
committees,
we
have
addressed
the
topics
of
adverse
childhood
experiences.
We
have
talked
about
the
effect
that
these
experiences
have
on
a
child's
learning
capacity
and
learning
environment,
and
I'm
always
supportive
of
another
measure
to
reduce
the
effect
of
an
adverse
child.
Experience
on
a
child's
learning
environment,
and
perhaps
a
child
comes
from
a
home
where
that
particular
situation
is
dire
and
they're
not
getting
breakfast.
I
But
I
would
encourage
us
to
think
about
those
kids
who
are
in
that
bell-shaped
piece
where
the
majority
of
these
kids
may
be
and
and
they
may
be
hungry,
we
have
some
homeless
kids,
some
of
our
districts
who
are
floating
from
place
to
place
to
place,
trying
to
trying
to
stay
in
school,
and
so,
if,
if
getting
them,
the
assurance
that
they
could
have
a
meal
reduces
that
aces
from
them.
I'm
always
supportive.
So
thank
you
sponsor
for
bringing
the
legislation.
A
A
All
right,
we'll
be
at
item
number
six
on
the
calendar
house
bill
2092
by
chairman
sipiki.
A
Right
and
I
believe
it
is.
A
To
consider
all
right,
we
are
voting
to
here
to
consider
the
untimely
filed
amendment.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
cause
opposed,
say
no,
the
eyes
have
it
and
it's
drafting
code
16769.
Is
that
correct.
A
E
Members,
I
I
do
apologize
right
off
the
bat
on
this.
I
know
this
committee
is
trying
to
close
something's
been
brought
to
my
attention
here
at
the
last
second.
E
My
intention
is
with
your
favor
is
to
move
this
bill
to
full
and
then
allow
everybody
behind
us
to
have
time
to
evaluate
this
and
then
have
a
full
discussion
at
the
full
committee
to
determine,
if
we're
going
to
do
this
this
year
or
wait
till
next
year
with
more
information,
and
basically
it
is
a
one
sentence-
amount.
It's
a
one
sentence
bill.
Here's
all
it
says
each
lea
shall
ensure
that
the
lea
provides
direct
instruction
methodology
for
students
in
grades
kindergarten
through
four,
that's
the
entire
bill.
E
I
can
give
a
brief
explanation
about
what
direct
the
instruction
methodology
is.
It
is
it
is
all
students
can
learn
when
taught
correctly,
regardless
of
history
or
background.
All
teachers
can
be
successful,
given
effective
materials
and
presentation
techniques.
E
Direct
instruction
is
a
teaching
method,
extensively
tested
and
proven
to
turn
all
students
into
confident
learners,
including
at
risk
esl,
special
education
and
on
grade
level.
Students
direct
instruction
gives
schools
a
clear
path
to
improving
student
outcomes.
Every
aspect
of
direct
instruction
program
is
designed,
tested
and
proven
to
fulfill
these
essential
principles.
E
Phonics
is
a
tried
and
true
that
we
that
has
been
used
for
a
long
long
time
in
education
and
one
of
the
key
tenets
of
that
is
direct
instruction
methodology,
where
the
teacher
stands
in
front
of
the
class
and
imparts
the
wisdom
and
knowledge
of
what
they're
trying
to
trying
to
teach
to
our
students.
That's
it,
mr
chairman
I'll
answer
questions.
If
I
can
and
like
I
said,
my
intent
was:
if
this
moves
on
it'll
allow
everybody
behind
us
to
investigate
it,
some
more
and
then
they
can
give
us
more
information
next
week.
A
Thank
you
for
that
explanation.
Chairman
watt,
you're
recognized.
D
E
Chairman
in
regards
to
phonics
what
we
just
got
done
passing
one
of
the
key
components
of
that
is
direct
instruction,
where
the
teachers
are
are
working
directly
with
those
students
one-on-one
or
in
a
classroom
setting
what
the
bill
says
is
each
lea
shall
ensure
that
the
lea
provides
direct
instruction
methodology
for
students.
So
we
are
spending
money
in
our
epp
programs
now
to
teach
phonics.
One
of
the
key
components
of
teaching
phonics
is
to
direct
instruction
so
making
sure
everything
syncs
up
together.
D
E
E
For
instance,
a
teacher
wanted
to
use
audio
visual
the
whole
time
and
that's
it
or
virtual
the
whole
time,
and
that's
it
or
going
to
a
computer
and
just
putting
the
kids
in
front
of
a
computer
and
saying
learn
what
we're
saying
here
is
we
want
you
to
interact
with
your
students.
We
want
you
to
help
teach
your
students
engage
them,
go
back
and
forth
with
them.
That's
what
direct
construction
methodology
is.
E
E
So
it
would
work.
It
would
be
better
if
we
did
this
as
a
state
to
say
this
is
what
our
intent
is
when
you
teach
phonics
the
problem
is,
is
I
wish
we
had
more
time,
but
this
is
it,
and
so
that's
why
I
commit
to
this
committee.
Is
I'm
willing
to
have
a
debt,
a
more
in-depth
discussion
next
week?
Let
the
people
behind
us
weigh
in
on
this
to
figure
out
if
this
is
good
or
not,
if
it's
something
we
need
to
wait
till
next
year,
I'll
be
happy
to
wait
till
next
year.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
That
was
along
the
lines
of
what
I
was
going
to
ask.
I
have
a
it's
a
montessori
school
in
district
58,
and
it
does
too,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
they
do
good
good
work
and
my
concern
would
be
how
it's
it
would
affect
them.
So
would
direct
instruction
be
the
only
method
that
a
school
could
use
or
could
they
use
montessori
method?
Also.
E
Chairman,
it's
a
biggie
if
the
montessori
methodology
has
to
do
with
direct
instruction,
they'd
be
fine.
I
think
the
question
we
need
to
reach
out
to
is:
how
do
you
teach,
and
would
this
bill
adversely
affect
you
if
we
need
to
tweak
the
language
to
make
that
so
it
wouldn't
hurt
them?
No
prob.
We
can
do
that.
Okay,
we're
just
up
against
it
right
now
with
this
with
this
committee.
Hopefully
wrapping
up
today
if
this
is
a
good
idea
and
we
can
tweak
it
to
make
it
even
better.
E
I
I
E
Chairman
savi
and
and
like
I
said,
I
hope
we
could
reach
out
to
everybody
within
the
next
week
and
when
we
come
back
to
committee
next
week.
Have
that
input
have
that
information
to
where
we
may
have
to
change
a
word
change
some
language
in
here.
If
it,
if
it
helps,
if
this
build,
doesn't
help,
then
we'll
just
take
it
off
notice
and
move
up
live.
A
Any
other
questions
for
our
sponsor,
and
you
know
I
think
it
is.
I
think
it
is
a
substantial
bill
and
and
considering
the
clock
that
we're
kind
of
underneath
right
now
with
the
assurances
that
we
can
have
a
chance
for
everybody
to
weigh
in
and
have
a
chance
to
move
forward.
I
think
that
that's
that
that's
understandable,
if
it's
the
will
of
the
committee
without
objection,
we'll
be
voting
on
house
bill,
2092,
all
those
in
favor
of
sending
it
to
full.
D
A
Chairman
and
I
do
have
an
amendment,
one
five
yeah
one,
five,
four,
five,
two
that
makes
the
bill.
E
A
D
Motion
second,
one:
five:
four,
five:
two!
That's
the
only
amendment!
Yes,
okay!
This
does
rewrite
the
bill
committee.
We
want
to
have
discussion
first
or
we
want
to
add
it
to
the
bill
and
have
a
discussion
kind
of
motion
seconding
objection
to
that
hearing.
None
all
is
in
favor,
adding
one
five,
four
five,
two
on
to
1891
and
he
came
saying:
aye
aye
opposed
guys
have
it?
Okay,
your
bill's
amended
chairman.
A
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
and
members.
What
this
bill
does
is
right.
Now,
an
lea's
unused,
coordinated
school
health
funds
revert
back
to
the
general
fund.
What
this
bill
would
do
would
allow
those
funds
to
stay
within
the
coordinate
school
health
program
to
be
used
for
approved
health
programs
in
other
districts,
as
the
coordinated
school
health
department
sees
fit,
and
that's
all
the
bill
does.

You

be
addressed
if
tisa

pass,
it
would
be
addressed,

since
tisa

this
