House Education Instruction Committee- March 30, 2022- House Hearing Room 1
A
Good
morning
and
thank
you
for
joining,
you
are
an
education
instruction,
full
committee,
and
we
hope
this
will
be
our
last
calendar.
But
I'm
not
going
to
say
until
we
know
it's
over,
but
anyway
we.
This
is
wednesday
march
the
30th,
and
we
are
grateful
to
have
you

the
clerk?
Please

It's
interesting
having
a
young
man
that
is
actually
bigger
than
me,
so
it
makes
me
feel
small
today,
but
timothy
is
a
very
good
young
man
he's
already
been
in
a
bunch
of
meetings
with
me
and
has
asked
some
very,
very
good
questions
that
I
know
will
make
some
people
nervous,
because
it's
giving
me
ideas
for
some
other
bills.
So
thank
you
very
much,
timothy.
F

We
do
appreciate
all
efforts
to
get
here
and
it's
what
makes
it
work
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
even
those
joining
us
on
the
internet.
We
I'm
gonna,
take
privilege
today.
The
first
bill
is
mine
and
I'm
gonna
roll
myself
to
the
heel,
and
so
first
of
all,
I
don't
think
I
gavel
this
into
sessions.
So
let
me
do
that.
We
are
now
in
session
I'm
going
to
roll
myself
to
the
heel
of
the
calendar
today
and
chairman
supiki.

Thank
you,
madam
chair
house,
bill
1683
increases
from
a
half
a
credit
to
one
credit.
The
number
of
credits
that
may
be
awarded
to
a
student
for
a
completed
in
a
release
court
release
time
course.
In
2015
we
passed
the
bill
house
bill
834
that
did
the
original
time
release
course
and
that
has
statewide
applications.
K
So
it's
been
around
for
seven
years
in
2019
we
came
back
with
house
bill
307,
and
that
was
gave
this
a
half
a
credit,
and
I
know
some
of
the
members
wanted
to
wait
a
couple
years
and
see
how
how
this
was
doing.
But
it's
doing
great.
This
bill's
been
around.
This
has
been
legal
in
the
u.s
since
1952
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
more
later,
but
many
other
states
are
doing
it
now
and
we'll
we'll
talk
about
that.
K
As
about
how
many
how
many
different
states
are
doing
this,
this
is
nothing
new.
I
think
the
last
time
we
were
here,
maybe
I
didn't
make
that
clear
enough.
This
is
something
that's
been
around
for
seven
years
and
all
we're
doing
this
build
is
simply
increases
it
from
one
half
credit
to
one
full
credit.
It's
an
elective
course
and
we're
already
doing
it
in
some
areas
and
some
other
areas
are
starting
to
do
it.
K
L
Katie

course,
under

subsection
h,
okay,.
A
J
L
Katie
robertson
office
of
legal
services,
the
definition
of
release
time
course
is
means
a
period
of
time
during
which
a
student
is
excused
from
school
to
attend
a
course
in
religious
moral
instruction
taught
by
an
independent
entity
off
school
property
in
the
determination
of
whether
elective
credit
should
be
offered
for
the
release
time
course,
the
determination
must
not
involve
any
tests
for
religious
content
or
our
denominational
affiliation
and
the
secular
criteria
used
to
evaluate
the
release.
Time
course
must
include
things
listed.
J
So
I'm
pretty
sure
I
heard
you
right
and
now,
if
we're
going
to
make
this
non-denominational
non-secular,
I
don't
think
we've
been
doing
that.
I
don't
think
that's
what
I
heard
in
subcommittee
when
there
was
testimony.
I
don't
think
that's
what's
being
done
across
this
state,
so
I
think
we
better
be
careful.
What
we're
asking
for.
A
J
Are
we
with
the
testimony
you
heard
in
subcommittee
and
legal
from
the
the
place
in
the
the
church?
That's
close
to
campbell
county
high
school,
which
is
a
baptist
church?
Does
that
meet
the
criterion
that
you
just
laid
out
in
the
original
law?
Is
that
that
I
think
that
is
a
what
I
was
speaking
to,
but
thank
you
for
accelerating
my
question
I'll
try
to
do
that
in
the
past
in
the
future
as
well.
J
Mckenzie,
thank
you,
okay,
but
there
wasn't
an
opinion.
It's
at
a
baptist
church-
and
I
know
I
heard
during
that
conversation-
jesus
christ,
which
I
fully
agree
with.
So
let's
be
clear
about
this,
but
that's
for
sunday
school!
That's
for
my
baptist
church.
So
again
I'll
ask
the
question.
Based
on
the
testimony
that
was
given
before
are
we
in?
Are
we
currently
in
compliance
with
the
original
law
that
we're
trying
to
expand.
A
A
E
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
and
mr
sponsor.
So
you
know
you
know
I
really
don't
have
an
issue
with
this
bill.
However,
yeah
y'all
surprised
him.
I
I
really
don't
have
an
issue
with
this
bill.
I
really
don't,
but
my
question
is
my
question:
is
from
a
funding
standpoint
with
our
funding
formula
and
the
new
funding
formula.
E
Could
could
the
could
the
the
sponsor
of
the
question
clarify
because
the
new
funding
formula
is
not
state
law
and
on
the
committee
that
I've
served
on
that's
evaluating
that
this?
This
bill
has
changed
almost
11
times
in
the
last
three
weeks.
So
is
the
question
of
as
the
precurrent
proposal
of
tisa?
E
M
M
M
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
that
legal
and
then,
if
that
is
the
case,
then
there
should
be
possibly
a
reduction
in
funding
in
the
cases
that
where
this
is
exercised,
if
no
funding
is
being
used,
am
I
correct
or
incorrect,
because
if
the
funding
stayed
exactly
the
same,
then
that
means
that
funds
are
being
used.
Can
you
help
me
with
that
counselor
katie?
N
For
joel
bejoy
office
of
legal
services
under
subsection
f
of
that
same
section,
492
130,
it
states
that
a
student
who
attends
a
release
time
course
shall
be
credited
with
time
spent
as
if
the
student
attended,
the
school
and
the
time
she'll
be
calculated
as
part
of
the
actual
school
day.
So
there's
no
funding
difference,
regardless
of
whether
the
student
is
at
a
really
release
time
course
or
not.
M
N
Bajoy
office
of
legal
services,
so
from
my
understanding
since
subsection
f
specifies
that
a
student
in
a
release,
time
course
is
basically
considered
at
school
and
that's
calculated
as
part
of
the
actual
school
day.
Whether
or
not
students
are
in
release
time
courses
will
not
impact
the
amount
of
funding
that
goes
to
the
district.
The
student
isn't
bringing
money
with
them
when
they
leave
the
school
grounds
to
go
to
a
release.
Time
course
that
money
stays
with
the
district.
M
And
you
don't?
You
know
you
don't
have
to
answer
that.
But
you
know
you
don't
have
to
answer
it
now,
because
it's
probably
hard
to
get
the
answer
right
now,
but
I
think
that's
something
that
that
we
should
get
the
answer
for
so
that
we're
not
at
risk
of
of
losing
any
federal
funding
in
regards
to
to
to
this
matter,
and
you
know
but,
but
I
think
I
think
it's
a,
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
M
A
A
O
O
P
Hi,
my
name
is
stephanie
lloyd.
I
am
a
licensed
tennessee
teacher
and
I'm
the
teacher
and
program
director
at
the
campbell
county
christian
learning
center,
and
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
a
few
things
from
some
earlier
questions.
My
understanding
of
the
previous
credit
bill
that
that
allows
local
school
boards
to
award
up
to
half
a
credit
that
they
are
evaluating
course
material
based
on
secular
academic
criteria.
P
I
Lynn,
ray
pastor
of
hillcrest
baptist
church,
former
public
school
principal
for
20
years,
public
school
teacher,
first
teacher
of
this
class
before
stephanie,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
miss
stephanie
I've
observed
her
and
I've.
I've
observed
a
lot
of
teachers
in
my
career.
She
is
one
of
the
most
professional,
most
intelligent,
hard-working
teachers.
I've
ever
had
to
observe
and
I'm
glad
she's
there.
I
So
with
that
said,
these
students
work
really
hard.
They
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
the
work
that
they
do.
It's
very
rigorous
one
of
the
students
even
commented
that
this
is
one
of
the
harder
classes
that
she
has
to
take
as
far
as
rigor,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
quickly
that
we
right
now
in
tennessee
are
receiving
half
credit
for
this
rigorous
class.
These
tennessee
students
are
only
receiving
half
credit
alabama
students
receive
a
full
credit.
I
Indiana
students
receive
one
full
credit
for
the
same
thing.
Utah
students
receive
a
full
credit.
Ohio
students
receive
one
full
credit.
South
carolina
receives
one
full
credit
for
the
same
class.
All
we're
asking
today
we're
not
asking
for
permission
or
approval
of
this
program.
It's
it's
legal!
It's
in
place.
It's
been
going
for
seven
years,
we're
just
asking
for
these
students
on
behalf
of
these
students,
these
tennessee
students
that
they
get
a
full
credit.
J
G
I
G
Correct
yes,
this
has
been
one
of
the
issues
we've
had
this
bill
before
us
four
times
and
and
most
of
we're
supportive
of
the
concept.
That's
not
the
issue
right,
it's
being
away
from
class
time,
because
in
some
there's
transportation
issues
there's,
and
so
you
know
in
campbell
county,
it's
across
the
street
right.
O
This
course
was
offered
with
no
credit
initially,
and
it
lasted
one
one
full
class
period.
Now
that
it's
offered
with
half
a
credit,
it
lasts
one
full
class
period.
If
the
students
are
afforded
the
opportunity
to
earn
a
full
credit,
it
will
still
last
one
full
class
period.
So
the
the
program
is
going
to
occur
whether
or
not
credits
are
offered
by
the
local
school
board.
G
O
They
can
still
offer
that
course,
according
to
the
supreme
court
ruling
from
1952
and
the
kids
can
leave
school
to
go.
Take
that
class.
But
it's
up
to
the
school
board
to
determine.
Does
that
drive
time?
Take
away
from
the
instruction
time
such
that
less
than
one
full
credit
should
be
awarded,
which
they
would
still
have
the
option
to
do?
O
They
could
still
offer
a
half
credit
for
a
course
that
occurred
15
minutes
away
from
the
school,
but
for
places
like
campbell,
county
and
places
anywhere
in
the
state
where,
where
the
board
of
education
deems
that
the
instruction
is
worthy
of
a
credit,
this
amendment
would
give
them
the
opportunity
to
afford
that
credit.
Okay,.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
think
I
I
was
going
to
ask
about
the
you
know
how
your
program
is
structured,
and
I
think
you
answered
most
of
that,
and-
and
maybe
this
is
for
the
for
the
sponsor,
because
I
just
want
to
know
is:
is
it
permissive
in
nature
or
how
does
this
work
in
regards
to
uniformity
across
the
entire
state?
So
I'll
come
back
to
the
sponsor
when
we,
when
we
get
back
out
of
session?
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
your
testimony.

Q
It
I
can
direct
it
to
to
the
folks
here.
I
was
just
reading
this
email,
but
I
often
often
say
that
the
the
first
amendment's
under
under
attack-
I
don't
think
many
people,
believe
it
but
the
school
that
sent
me
this.
This
text
here
just
want
to
share
this
with
you,
stewards,
creek
high
school.
I
had
a
reporter
call
me
about
10
years
ago,
a
reporter
wanted
to
interview
me.
I
just
got
through
speaking
about
affordable
housing.
Q
Q
I
see
that
as
a
first
amendment
issue,
they
had
to
call
dc
someone
in
washington
dc
to
get
a
quote
for
a
story
couldn't
find
nobody
local
to
complain
about
it.
My
dad
always
used
a
term
called
cattywampus
cattywampus.
I
don't
know
if
y'all
know
that
term
cattywampus
and
that's
when
things
were
just
getting
crazy,
just
did
not
work
did
not
line
up.
It
was
world
war
ii
and
we
kind
of
become
cattywompus
in
a
way.
Q
In
our
society
and
that's
george
creek-
that's
a
great
school
by
the
way
great
school,
but
they
couldn't
find
nobody
complain,
and
I
know
the
reporter.
I
won't
say
his
name,
and
I
said
why
do
you
do
this?
He
says
this
is
what
they
sent
me
over
here.
For
I
said
man.
I
know
you're
a
believer.
I
know
you
are
later.
I
seen
him
in
front
of
the
governor's
office,
hey
man.
I
left
that
news
station.
Q
Q
One
of
the
main
reasons
I
hear
teachers
upset
want
to
leave,
and
I
think
everyone
in
this
room
that
follows
education
would
agree
with.
This
is
the
behavior
of
students
today
and
you
all
are
in
a
rural
area.
I
would
think
your
students
probably
behave
a
little
bit
better
than
some
of
the
inner
city
in
my
area.
You
know
we
got
I'm
just
saying
my
my
district.
Now
you,
if
you
speak
five
times,
I'm
going
to
speak
once
brother.
All
right
so
hold.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
madam
chair,
to
make
a
generalization
that
inner
city,
kids
behavior,
is
worse
than
that
of
rural
kids
is
out
of
order
completely
out
of
order,
and
and
and
I
hope
that
the
the
member
that
made
that
statement
will
think
about
what
he
just
said
and
retract
it,
because
that
is
completely
out
of
order.
Okay,
madam
chair
representative,.
Q
M
M
Again,
madam
chair,
I
will
take
the
high
road
in
this.
We
do
have
the
right
to
speak,
but
we
do
not
have
the
right
to
make
baseless,
factless
generalizations
about
groups
of
people.
Yes,
you
have
the
first
amendment
right.
Yes,
you
do,
but
you
do
not
have
the
right
to
make
factless
and
baseless
generalizations
about
people
based
on
where
they
live,
and
because
that
which
what
you
said
was
not
fact,
and
so
I
hope
you
will.
M
A
Q
B
Q
I
And
if
you've
got
someone
with
a
heart,
you
know
when
you
teach
and
you're
an
educator
you're
called
to
that.
I
told
my
daughter.
She
said
dad,
I'm
thinking
about
being
a
school
teacher,
and
I
said
well,
that's
wonderful,
but
you
need
to
know
that
you're
called
to
that
you've
got
to
have
a
love
for
children.
You
know
wherever
they're
at
whatever
city,
whatever
yeah
with
that
said,
I
want
to
say
this
that
one
of
my
number
one
heroes-
and
this
is
the
honest
truth.
I
You
hope
that
a
pastor
would
say
the
honest
truth
right,
but
martin
luther
king
martin
luther
king
jr
is
one
of
my
all-time
number
one
heroes
and
he
and
I
share
a
lot
in
common
he's
a
baptist
minister
and
and
he
and
I
enjoyed
preaching
to
our
congregations
and
a
lot
of
things
that
he
did
he's
a
hero
of
mine,
and
I
think
about
this.
You
know
what
we're
doing
we're
introducing
children
to
moral
and
religious
instruction.
Any
group
can
do
that
if
they
meet
all
the
criteria.
I
Okay,
but
but
principals
that
have
students
that
come
back
from
these
release.
Time
courses
are
showing
a
change
in
behavior
good
to
the
good
they're,
showing
an
increase
in
academic
achievement,
they're
becoming
better
citizens.
It's
not
so
much
that
they've
been
converted.
It's
just
that
they've
been
exposed
to
good
moral
instruction.
Martin
luther
king
jr
used
the
bible
to
create
his
worldview.
That's
how
he
viewed
this
world
and
I'm
thinking
if
it
was
good
enough
for
him.
It's
good
enough
for
anybody
to
read
whether
they
become
a
believer
or
not.
I
I
His
political
and
his
whole
world
view
was
based
upon
what
he
found
in
the
bible,
and
so
I
don't
think
it's
a
bad
thing
that
they
are
being
exposed
to
this.
It's
a
good
thing.
Have
I
seen
a
change
yet
and
and
that's
something
we
have
to
address
on
many
different
levels,
not
just
school.
That's
in
the
church,
it's
in
our
community.
It's
in
our
organizations,
all
those
things
you've
given
the
baptist
minister
time
to
speak
I'll,
shut
up
and
close
okay,
but
but
yes,
but
it's
not
it's
it's
it's!
I
It's
not
impossible.
It's
not
impossible
that
this
can't
be
turned
around,
and
this
is
an
effort
to
do
that
in
a
way
not
only
provide
academic
rigor
and
instruction
and
meet
some
of
our
standards,
but
also
to
mold
that
moral
compass
for
a
lot
of
people
that
don't
have
any
moral
compass
you
know
whatsoever.
We
have
students
that
are
coming
this
class
that
have
no
church
affiliation,
no
religious
affiliation
and
they're,
getting
some
moral
instruction.
I
Q
Got
one
more
just
real,
quick
something
dr
king
said
that
I
really
like
he
said
our
lives
begin
to
end.
Will
we
become
silent
about
the
things
that
matter
and
this
brother
right
here?
Ain't
gonna
be
silent.
I
appreciate
what
you
do,
keep
it
up
and
all
these
other
educators
out
there
that
are
struggling
with
these
kids.
May
god
bless
them,
because
I
hear
a
lot
of
bad
stories.
Thank
you
for
you
for
your
time
to
come
up
here
today,
sir.
F
F
I
have
two
daughters
in
high
school
and
right
now,
when
they
take
a
credit,
just
four
semesters,
it's
only
a
half,
so
I
don't
understand
how
that
same
time
frame.
You
could
get
entire
credit
when
in
one
class,
but
you
get
half
a
credit
and
another
class,
I'm
not
sure
how
that
translate
was
with
this
bill.
P
P
If
you'd
like
to
look
at
it
to
see
what
else
is
offered
there,
and
so
this
bill
wouldn't
require
a
school
to
grant
the
full
credit
it
would
just
allow
they
they
could
do
up
to
that
full
credit,
so
they
could
potentially,
if
all
of
their
other
elective
courses
were
half
a
credit,
they
could
still
simply
offer
half
a
credit.
I
guess
that
would
that
would
depend
on.
I
guess.
Class
period
times
vary
from
school
to
school.
A
G
G
It
wasn't
about
receiving
credits
in
high
school,
so
we
passed
it
out
came
back.
We
had
another
discussion
and
we
did
allow
the
half
credit
didn't
do
the
full
credit
now
we're
back
on
on
the
full
credit,
so
I
think
we're
some
of
us
are
hung
up
in.
We
agree
with
the
concept
in
this
particular
situation,
but
now
we've
gotten
tangled
up
in
half
credit
a
full
credit.
It's
more
about
credit.
Is
it
about
moral
instruction
of
the
students,
which
is
what
they
need,
or
is
it
about
receiving
credits?
G
And
I
think
that's
where
we're
getting
we're
getting
tangled
up.
I
mean
I
voted
no
last
time.
I
voted
yes,
because
I
wanted
you,
your
your
guest
to
be
able
to
speak
and
out
of
respect,
for
you
represent
powers,
but
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
now.
Are
we
talking
more
about
moral
instruction,
which
I
agree
with?
Are
we
talking
about
receiving
credits
for
that
instruction.
K
Yeah,
thank
you,
chairman
white,
it
to
be
honest
with
a
little
bit
of
both.
We
want
to
make
sure
they
get
the
religious
and
moral
instruction
as
stephanie
mentioned
a
while
ago.
A
lot
of
other
states
are
already
and
have
been
for
a
long
time
been
giving
credits
for
this.
We
were
just
kind
of
on
the
front
end.
You
know
we
when
we
got
a
half
a
credit.
K
We
asked
actually
asked
for
a
full
credit,
and
at
that
time
I
know
some
of
the
representatives
said
well,
we
want
to
wait
a
couple
of
years
and
see
how
it
goes
before
we
give
it
a
full
credit,
well
that
that
was
three
years
ago.
Let
me
just
mention
some
other.
She
mentioned
some
states
that
are
giving
a
full
elective
credit,
but
in
alabama
they
have
no
limits
on
it,
so
you
can
get
two.
You
take
two
three
four
courses
like
that
and
still
get
a
full
credit
utah.
K
They
have
no
limits
on
so
how
many
credits
you
get
ohio?
They
have
a
limit
on
two.
You
can
get
two
and
in
south
carolina
you
can
get
two.
So
we
just
started
out
from
the
very
beginning
trying
to
get
the
the
school
organized
and
trying
to
get
it.
You
know
applying
statewide
and
then
once
they
set
up
the
through
the
lease
and
started
the
rigorous
instruction.
G
Thank
you
thank
you
ribs
and
pirates
and
legal.
Maybe
to
answer
this.
I
should
know
this,
but
I
don't
because
I'm
getting
conflicting
thing
here
when
you
go
from
a
half
a
credit
to
a
full
credit.
Does
that
require
that
may
not
in
this
particular
situation?
Does
it
require
more
classroom
time
for
those
students.
A
K
Yeah
that
it
won't,
it
won't
change
that
at
all
the
half
credits,
the
full
credit
we
just
all,
we
did
in
the
same
classroom
time
and
all
we
were
doing
before
we
we
compromised
on
the
half
credit.
So
now
we're
just
asking
for
the
full
credit
we
asked
for
the
full
credit
to
begin
with,
and
they
wanted
to
see
like.
K
I
said
how
it
worked
out
over
a
couple
of
years
and
now,
three
years
later,
we're
just
asking
for
full,
but
it
will
not
change
the
amount
of
time
and
it's
completely
up
to
the
school
board.
They
can
still
a
school
board
can
still
say
a
half
a
credit
or
all
we're
asking
is
to
give
them
the
opportunity
to
go
up
to
a
full
credit.
So
it's
still
permissive
by
the
by
the
local,
lea.
G
H
G
L
Katie
robertson
office
of
legal
services,
the
way
that
the
bill
is
drafted,
it
says
the
local
board
of
education
may
adopt
a
policy
to
award
students
credit.
If
they
adopt
the
policy,
then
a
student
may
be
awarded
one
credit
unit
of
an
elective
credit
for
the
completion
of
each
release.
Time
course
in
statute.
Currently
it
states
that
they
may
review
the
amount
of
classroom
instruction
time
when
determining
if
an
elective
credit
should
be
provided
to
a
student.
M
L
M
F
M
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
allowing
me
to
speak
as
much
as
you
allow
me
to
speak,
because
I
speak
a
lot
and
to
the
to
the
sponsor,
I'm
speaking
a
lot
right
now
and
then
what
so?
I
don't
in
order
not
to
in
order
to
not
run
into
the
hurdles
that
and
and
hamstring
the
school
boards,
and-
and
maybe
this
is
a
question
for
madam
chair.
K
Powers
yeah
that
they're
already
allowed
as
far
as
telling
what
kind
of
classroom
time
it's
already
up
to
the
local
lea
I
mean
they
even
had-
and
I
think
stephanie
mentioned
this-
she
mentioned
three
different
courses:
weight
lifting
you
know,
there's
no
classroom
time,
really
in
weightlifting
being
a
library
assistant,
and
there
was
one
other
that
I
forgot,
but
they
already
get
a
full.
You
know
elective
credit
for
that.
So
it's
not
really
about.
You
know
that
just
being
in
on
you
know,
sitting
down
in
a
chair
for
that
certain
period
of
time.
K
M
And
thank
you
and
just
you
know
what
and,
and
so
based
on
what
I
heard
legal
saying
and
it's
completely
up
to
you,
the
the
local
lea
may
not
actually
be
able
to
do
that
for
this
particular
course,
because
of
you
know
the
car
about
on
it,
and
so
just
you
know,
okay
make
sure
you
cognizant.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
J
D
Got
a
motion
in
a
second:
we
are
actually
I
just
want
to
get
the
bill
prop
posture
before
us.
We
are
looking
at
amendment
zero,
one,
two,
five,
four
three.
I
need
a
motion
in
a
second,
it's
already
on
we're
already
on
we're
good
and
we
got
another
motion.
Second
to
back
it
up.
Okay,
so
with
that
being
the
position
of
the
bills
before
us,
and
with
that
being
said,
representative
moody,
you
are
recognized.
A
A
D
H
I
serve
on
the
task.
Commission.
Let
me
tell
you
it's
a
lot
more
fun
on
that
side
than
it
is
this
one.
I'm
london
county
mayor,
but
my
most
important
title
is
that
of
father
and
dad
the
I
looked
at
the
legislation
as
I
looked
through
the
bills
that
are
coming
through
and
saw
the
opportunity
to
aid
with
students
with
dyslexia,
it
hit
home.
For
me,
this
is
as
a
parent,
not
as
a
mayor
or
a
politician.
H
You
know
I've
got
a
my
oldest
son.
I
have
three
children
during
the
second
grade.
We
just
we
were
at
our
wits
end
as
a
family.
He
was
reading
bottom.
Two
percent
of
the
entire
state
we
doing
homework
was
an
event
nightly
because
we
were
frustrated
as
parents
he's
frustrated
as
a
six
and
seven
year
old,
and
we
just
didn't
know
what
to
do.
We
were
very
blessed
very
fortunate
that
we
had
the
resources
that
we
were
able
to
take
our
son
to
a
specialist
and
within
just
two
or
three
minutes.
H
He
was
diagnosed
with
dyslexia,
not
a
very
terrible
case
of
it.
He
has
a
few
letters
that
flip
on
him,
but
with
dyslexia
is
one
of
the
most
underdiagnosed
and
mis-mis-diagnosed
diseases
and
that
that
we
have
as
a
society
as
students
and
this
opportunity
I
know
like
I
said
we
were
very
blessed
very
fortunate.
My
all
three
of
my
children
have
are
attending
philadelphia,
elementary
school,
small
rural
school,
a
k-8,
school
and
and
being
a
smaller
school.
H
Look
back
and
not
recognize
the
word
again
and
with
this
potential
that
you
all
have
to
recommend
and
send
the
house
to
to
help
students
with
dyslexia.
It
really
hit
home
for
me
because
I
know
what
we
went
through
and
you
know:
there's
a
family
out
there
that
may
not
have
the
resources
that
we
had
and
and
that
this
student,
a
student,
any
student,
could
benefit
from
this.
I
think
it's
worth
it.
I
said
this
is
a
it's
like
an
underdiagnosed
disease.
H
I
said
my
my
he's
21
now
successful,
he
good
a
ct
score
works
for
ups
now,
and
so
I
mean
I've
got
a
friend
of
mine.
You
know,
like
I
said
my
son,
he
flipped
a
few,
and
this
gentleman's
friend
he's
my
age.
He
flipped
virtually
all
of
his.
You
know
so
his
mind
struggled
it's
almost
impossible
for
him
and,
of
course,
that's
been
a
long
time
now,
a
long
time
coming
as
we
look
forward.
H
I
think
this
is
an
outstanding
opportunity
to
help
a
lot
of
our
students
and
unless
it's
still
so
much
unknown
about
it,
even
after
diagnosis,
the
teachers,
you
know
they.
I
can't
brag
on
them
enough.
They
scrambled
you
know
using
blue
paper
using
yellow
paper
everything
they
could
try
to
help
recognize.
Ultimately
it
it
is
the
student
it
was
my
son,
it
was
him
training
himself.
H
I
give
three
people,
credit,
miss
russell,
miss
johnson
and
captain
underpants,
because
he
got
hooked
in
the
captain,
underpants
books
and
that's
how
he
taught
and
trained
his
mind
to
recognize,
and
so
I
said
we
were
very
blessed
to
have
the
resources
to
get
that
help
a
lot
of
kids.
It
may
not-
and
that's
you
know,
that's
my
story
and
why
I
support
the
aid
for
any
kid
we
can
have
and
keep
waking
up
with
dyslexia.

Katie
robertson
office
of
legal
services,
tca
section
49,

1403,
subsection
e,
says
for
participating
students
in
grades
three
through
eight,
a
parent
shall
ensure
that
the
student
is
annually
administered
either
a
nationally
norm,
reference
test
identified
by
the
department
or
the
the
tcap
test.
The
test
should,
at
a
minimum
measure,
learning
in
mathematics
and
english
language.
Arts
results
of
the
testing
shall
be
reported
to
the
parent
students
with

who
would
have
participated
in
the
alternative
assessment,
as
determined
by
the
students
iep
are
exempted
from
this
requirement.
J
And
so,
if
a
student
goes
out
of
the
program
and
take
the
dollars
with
them,
when
they
come
back
in
do
say
they
were
on
iep
before
they
that
they
left
when
they
come
back
into
the
public
school.
If
they
come
back
into
the
to
school
sum,
it
didn't
work,
for
whatever
reason
are
they
immediately
given
the
iep
or
do
they
have
to
kind
of
start
at
step?
One
and
and
get
a
new
plan.

Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
this
is
not
a
question.
It's
a
statement.
I
want
to
thank
the
sponsor
for
bringing
this
bill
to
some
who
brought
this
issue
up.
I
have
dyslexia.
I
was
diagnosed
with
it
when
I
was
in
the
first
grade.
I
credit
my
parents
and
my
teachers
to
the
first
through
third
grade
for
helping
me,
adapt
and
handle
this
issue.
I
have
been
able
to
work
on
a
doctorate
with
this
particular
problem.
C

A
Thank
you,
chair
lady.
There
is
first
there's
a
one
little
business.
We
need
to
take
care
of
you
don't
mind.
I
forgot
when
we
were
doing
house
bill
1723,
I
was
supposed
to
send
it
to
the
special
calendar
so
special
calendar
it
goes
to,
and
I
will
need
a
motion
to
adjourn
motion.
Okay,
emotions
been
made
and
before
we
leave,
can
you
hang
on
one
more?
Second,
we
do
want
to
everything.
