B
B
I
serve
on
criminal
justice
sub,
which
we
have
very
full
calendars,
and
so
that's
where
we
get
delayed
a
little
bit,
and
so
I
apologize
for
making
you
all
wait,
but
thank
you
for
being
patient
and
sticking
with
us,
and
so
we
will
ask
our
clerk
to
please
call
the
roll.
B
Thank
you
so
much
and
our
custom
is
to
now
ask
the
I
think
I
forgot
something
we
we
members
do
you
have
any
acknowledgements
or
recognitions
you'd
like
to
make
at
this
time
all
right
see
none.
Now
what
we,
our
custom
is,
is
to
say
the
pledge
of
allegiance,
and
if
you
would
like
to
join
us,
please
do
so.
B
B
All
right
members,
we
will
start
with
number
one
on
our
calendar
and
these
are
the
confirmation
of
appointments
to
our
state

instructional
materials.

D
D
D
She

vice
president
of
montgomery
county
professional
educators
of
tennessee
she's,
a
past
board
member
of
the
binglewood
elementary
pto
and
she's,
the
co-founder
of
oak
tree
publishing
company
and
they
publish
children's
books
just
to
list
a
few
of
the
rewards
because
there's
a
list
I
could
probably
take
up
half
the
committee's
time,
but
I'll
just
touch
on
a
few.
She
was
teacher
of
the
teacher
of
the
year
for
the
professional
educators
of
tennessee
in
2019.
D
B
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
and
I'm
going
to
take
us
out
of
session
and
if
you
will
please
make
sure
your
mic
is
on
and
reintroduce
yourself
to
us
for
the
record.
Thank
you.
My.
E
Name
is
deborah,
chancellor:
I'm
from
clarksville
montgomery,
county
schools.
I've
been
working
with
them
for
25
years
in
the
same
school
mingle
elementary,
which
is
a
title
one
school
before
that
I
worked
with
dodge
germany
in
heidelberg
and
before
that
I
was
in
the
army
right
after
high
school.
So
after
three
years
of
the
military,
I
was
able
to
go
to
college
and
pay
for
my
college
and
presently
right
now.
I
am
a
multi-classroom
leader
under
the
grow,
your
own
program
and
that
montgomery
county
has
started
that
and
it
is
spreading
across
the
state.
E
E
So
this
is
perfect
timing
for
me,
and
I
appreciate
that
you're
going
to
consider
me
for
this
position,
because
textbooks
are
incredibly
important,
as
are
the
standards
and
then
the
tests
that
you
require
our
students
to
take,
but
without
the
resources
that
will
take
a
teacher
through
a
full
year.
It's
very
difficult,
so
textbooks
are
huge
and
I'd
be
honored
for
your
appointment
to
this
position.
B
Thank
you
so
much
members.
Does
anyone
have
a
question
for
our
guest.
A
And
thank
you
so
much
miss
chancellor
for
stepping
up
to
the
plate
and
getting
involved
with
content.
This
generous,
the
general
assembly
in
2015.
I
believe,
I'm
correct.
We
put
to
task
to
put
to
get
the
textbook
commission
in
order
and
and
vetted
folks
that
we're
going
to
be
a
watchman
on
the
wall.
If
you
will
on
what
comes
before
our
children
and
currently
we're
still
dealing
with
this
issue
in
legislation,
that's
going
on
currently
as
a
proponent
of
one
who
is
very,
very
concerned
about
content.
A
You
heard
the
saying
garbage
in
garbage
out-
and
we
are
also
members
of
this
committee
diligently
doing
what
we
know
to
do
in
terms
of
getting
our
literacy
rates
up
and
getting
our
kids
equipped,
so
they
can
read,
write
and
do
math
and
those
are
the
things
that
we
are
focused
on.
So
I
honor
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
I
know
you
know
the
task
at
hand,
what
it
requires
long
hours
and
making
hard
decisions,
and
the
fact
that
you're
in
the
military
is
a
nice
piece
as
well.
A
B
F
E
Yes,
sir
I'd
be
glad
to,
because
I
have
had
these
same
teacher
residents
for
three
years,
I
they
have
learned
how
to
teach
with,
not
just
with
me,
but
with
my
team.
That's
part
of
my
job
is
not
just
my
classroom,
but
I
am
responsible
for
the
team
of
first
grades
and
because
they
have
been
working
with
me
and
with
the
other
teachers
on
the
team.
It's
like
on
the
job
training.
This
is
real.
E
G
Thank
you
for
being
here,
miss
chancellor.
We
definitely
appreciate
your
service
as
well
as
your
willingness
to
continue
that
service
and,
as
has
been
pointed
out,
a
rather
time
demanding
and
difficult
job.
The
question
I
have
for
you
concerns
the
standards
that
you
mentioned:
textbooks
have
to
be
aligned
with
tennessee
standards.
Publishers
submit
these
and
claim
that
such
exist,
but
my
concern
is
not
so
much
that
they
cover
the
standards
in
their
textbook,
but
they
cover
a
lot
of
things
that
are
not
in
our
standards.
In
fact,
sometimes
contradictory.
E
Absolutely
because
we
do
teach
to
the
standards-
and
I
assure
you
I
know
what
those
standards
are.
I
know
what
those
standards
mean
and
we
work
on
dissecting
them.
So
we
know
exactly
what
we're
to
be
teaching
and
that's
what
we
teach
do
we
teach
to
the
standards
we
do
not
teach
to
the
textbook
and
if
we
have
a
textbook,
that's
perfectly
aligned
to
those
standards
that
makes
the
job
it
just
streamlines
it
and
we're
all
doing
what
we're
supposed
to
be
doing.
B
Thank
you
any
other
questions
all
right.
Well,
miss
chancellor,
thank
you
for
being
with
us
today
and
taking
those
questions
for
us,
and
I
appreciate
it
and
we
will
take
care
of
business
here
in
a
minute.
B
B
Thank
you
later
yeah,
yes,
representative,
grippy.
D
B
D
Today
I
have
house
joint
resolution
813
and
last
week
I
made
sure
that
everybody
received
a
copy
of
miss
hickey's
resume.
She
had
planned
on
being
with
us
today,
but
due
to
a
medical
situation,
she
is
unable
to
be
here.
So
I'll
do
my
best
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have,
but
her
education
started
at
furman
university
when
she
graduated
there
with
the
ba
in
education
and
then
she
got
her
doctorates
at
east
tennessee,
state
anniversary
as
y'all
can
see.
I
have
the
blue
and
tie
ty
on
today.
D
D
She
was
also
the
very
first
21st
century
tennessee
classroom
teacher,
whereas
she's
also
received
many
outstanding
teachers
of
the
year
and
with
that
being
said,
madam
chair,
lady
and
committee,
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
I
can.
B
Thank
you
so
much
and
we
we
wish
her
well
in
her
recovery
and
thank
you
for
standing
in
place
for
her
members.
Do
we
have
any
questions
for
chairman
crawford.
B
B
You
members
what
we
what
we
would
like
to
do
now,
chairman
faison,
if
you
don't
mind
leader
faison,
we
need
we
have
some
other
confirmations
that
are
on
the
end
of
the
calendar.
B
It
starts
with
number
17
on
our
calendar
and
it
these
17,
18,
19
and
and
20
are
we
are
they
are
appearing
before
us
again?
There
were
some
technical
corrections
made,
so
we
just
need
to
to
re-vote
e
on
each
one,
got
it
technical
corrections
all
right.
So
if
we
can
find
yes,
I
will
need
a
motion.
Please.
H
B
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
but
we
voted
the
last
ones
in
by
acclimation,
but,
however,
you
see
fit,
I'm
moved
that
we
accept
the
first
one
by
acclimation.
B
B
B
B
B
Okay,
we
you
have
an
emotion
in
a
second
on
zero,
nine,
three,
two
of
the
confirmation
of
a
point
appointment
of
dr
jody
rump
for
the
standards
recommendation
committee
for
science
and
members.
We
would
like
to
hear
from
her,
so
I
will
take
us
out
of
session
and
miss
dr
romp.
You
may
come
forward
and
make
sure
your
microphone
is
on
and
close
to
you
it's
toward
the
left
end.
You
got
a
red
light
on.
C
B
E
Please
thank
you
for
having
me
today.
It's
an
honor
to
be
here
for
consideration.
My
name
is
jody
romp
and
I'm
a
dentist
in
memphis
tennessee
and
I've
been
practicing
dentistry
for
about
20
years.
I
am
a
graduate
of
the
shelby
county
school
system.
I
have
a
bachelor's
of
science
in
biology
and
chemistry,
and
I
have
a
doctorate
of
dental
surgery
from
the
university
of
tennessee
health
science
center.
I
have
owned
and
operated
my
own
private
dental
practice
in
downtown
memphis
for
about
15
years.
E
H
B
Yes,
and
and
if
there
are
no
other
questions,
the
posture
that
we're
in
the
sponsor
is
not
here,
leader
gant
we're
waiting
on
him,
but
we
can.
Certainly,
if
you
don't,
have
any
questions,
we
will
go
back
in
session.
Yes,
representative,
groupie
thank.
D
You,
madam
chair,
dr
rump,
I
just
wanted
to
express,
I
think,
all
the
committees
appreciation
for
you
being
willing
to
serve
for
the
citizens
and
students
of
tennessee,
and
I
applaud
your
public
you're,
a
product
of
a
public
school
system
in
tennessee.
So
thank.
D
E
F
J
J
So,
do
you
have
a
lot?
Do
you
see
a
lot
of
patients
that
have
they
have
issues
with
meth
and
they
do
a
lot
of
reconstructive
surgery
and
with
the
I
don't
know
what
they
call,
but
the
implants.
E
Yes,
we,
the
the
usually
the
the
population
that
I
serve
is
is
downtown.
We
do
have
some
underprivileged
areas
that
we
do
a
lot
of
complimentary
or
free
work
for
to
help
them
out
through
their
services,
but
usually
the
underprivileged,
and
that
the
meth
areas
are
usually
on
the
outskirts,
which
are
a
lot
of
them,
are
dealt
with.
Unfortunately,
with
with
the
estate
care
and
a
lot
of
them
don't
seek,
you
know,
care
and
time
for
that.
So
it's
a
the
message
of
the
meth
mouth
situation
is
a
very
unfortunate
condition.
B
You
chairman,
hasting.
K
E
C
B
D
Thank
you,
chairman
and
committee.
I
was
in
finance
sub
and
got
the
warning
that
I
needed
to
be
here
to
substitute.
So
I
am
substituting
on
this,
and
this
is
item
number
20,
hjr0932,
correct.
Okay,
this.
C
D
Appointment
for
dr
jody
rump
standards,
recommendation
committee
for
science
and
if
you'll
indulge
me
I'll,
read
a
little
bit
of
her
bio.
Dr
judy
rump
is
a
graduate
of
christian
brothers
university
and
the
university
of
tennessee
dental
school,
where
she
earned
a
doctorate
of
dental
surgery.
D
She
has
studied
under
some
of
the
most
prestigious
cosmetic
dentist
in
the
country
where
she
received
training
in
cosmetic
dentistry.
She
is
also
a
graduate
of
hornbrook
group
where
she
received
hands-on
training
and
learned
practical
and
systematic
approaches
to
aesthetic
dentistry.
Dr
rump
also
was
among
the
first
dentist
in
the
country
to
be
trained
on
the
new
dura-thin
veneers.
B
B
Dr
rump,
I
didn't
you
got
away
before
I
could
tell
you
thank
you
again
for
serving
and
coming
here
today.
Thank
you
all
right
members.
Now
this
will
get
us
back
on
our
calendar
and
we
want
to
take
up
house
bill
1912
by
leader
faison.
You
have
a
motion
in
a
second,
and
is
there
a
is
there
a
vivid
for
this?
There.
B
I
Miley
asked
if
we
could
have
a
couple
days
virtual
for
those
students
who
are
not
part
of
eoc
testing
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
at
the
end
of
the
year,
so
that
they
could
focus
solely
on
the
students
who
are
being
tested
and
and
still
provide
some
virtual
learning
for
those
who
are
not
being
tested,
and
it
also
the
bill
also
makes
sure
that
we
take
care
of
all
the
federal
standards
of
food
and
such
as
that.
So
that's
what
the
bill
does.
C
H
B
Yes
later,
thank
you,
madam.
You
want
to
go
ahead.
Okay,
next,
on
our
list,
we
have
representative
harris
question's
been
called
without
any
opposition,
all
right,
all
in
favor
of
passing
house
bill
1912.,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
whoop,
you
move
on
to
calendar
and
rules.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
waiting
number
four.
We
have
house
bill
2106
by
representative
hakeem
and
you
have
a
motion
in
a
second.
K
Ma'am
there
is
you
want
that
number.
Please
0-1-4-8-7-7.
B
And
that
is
what
I
have
before
me
members.
Does
it
make
the
bill.
K
No,
no
man,
it
just
changes.
One
area
all
right,
changes
to
the
state
board
of
education,
all.
B
K
Yes,
instead
of
department
of
education,
it
states
that
the
state
board
is
the
authorizing
body.
B
K
Right,
thank
you,
madam
chair
lady
and
members,
after
consultation
and
insight
gathered
from
some
of
our
colleagues
here
on
this
committee,
that
we
did
make
the
change
that
we
we
just
undertaken.
But
what
this
bill
is
about
is
to
afford
a
broader
understanding
of
our
american
history,
and
I
guess
in
doing
so.
We
have
to
ask
the
question:
why
do
we
need
this
bill
and
what
we're
intending
to
do
is
to
demonstrate
the
need
for
black
history,
where
it
intersects
with
every
period
of
american
history.
K
Black
americans
fought
in
every
single
u.s
war
since
the
american
revolution,
but
probably
if
we
canvassed
our
children,
they
have
no
idea.
No
knowledge
of
the
participation
of
african
americans
in
in
our
american
wars.
K
Examples
of
the
kinds
of
people
that
would
be
asked
to
be
taught
would
be
the
tuskegee
airmen,
the
scientists,
george
washington,
carver,
madame
cj
walker,
the
first
female
self-made
millionaire
in
america,
and
what
we're
asking
is
the
opportunity
to
move
this
forward.
It
would
be
specifically
in
this
legislation
for
grades.
Five
through
eight
appropriate,
was
considered
appropriate
knowledge
and
understanding
shared
with
our
students,
and
this
would
not
take
place
until
school
year,
25
26,
so
that
there's
no
extra
cost
in.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this
legislation.
You
especially
got
my
attention
when
you
started
talking
about
madame
cj
walker
and
I'm
not
sure
if
everybody
on
the
committee
knows
who
madam
cj
walker
is
y'all,
know
how
I
am
about
never
here
right
about
here,
the
business
of
here.
H
Well,
madame
cj
walker,
she
was
the
first,
I
wouldn't
say
female
african-american,
or
maybe
the
first
african-american
millionaire,
I'm
not
sure,
but
but
I
know
female
african-american
millionaire
and
she
made
her
her
money
by
in
the
hair
industry,
for
black
people
right
and
and
it's
a
it's
an
incredibly
interesting
story.
You
know
what
she
had
to
overachieve
to
to
become.
H
You
know
to
get
to
that
space
and
her
legacy
is
still
extreme,
very
prevalent
in
black
hair
today
and-
and
you
know,
and
so
and
and
you
know,
based
on
what
I'm
hearing
some
of
the
things
some
of
the
individuals
that
he
mentioned-
you
know
our
our
children
just
are
not
informed
and
a
lot
of
adults
actually
are
just
not
informed
on
some
of
these.
These
history
makers-
and
I
don't
think
they
are
controversial.
H
I
think
these
are
these,
are
our
you
know,
good
things
for
our
children
to
know
because
as
they
aspire
and
are
are
inspired.
Rather,
you
know
by
the
feats
of
these
individuals
who
have
who
have
made
it
through.
You
know.
Hopefully
it
will
inspire
them
to
go
on
to
greater
things
too.
So
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
bill
and
a
non-controversial
bill
y'all
and
it
I
don't
know
if
I
don't
think
anybody
would
get
uncomfortable
by
learning
about.
Madam.
B
M
Thank
you,
chairman
chairwoman,
and
so
a
sponsor.
I
know
ga
worked
a
great
deal
with
the
with
us
on
the
committee.
The
last
time
as
well
as
chairman,
says
picky
as
well.
So
I
think
you
made
all
the
changes
that
were
necessary,
so
I
I'm
going
to
support
the
bill.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
chairman
sipigi,
your
name
was
called.
Would
you
like
to.
B
B
House
house
bill
2461
by
rep
chairman
rudder,
and
would
you
like
to
present
from
your
seat?
I
would
thank
you
all
right.
You
have
a
motion
and
second
on
your
bill
and
there
is
an
amendment
traveling
with
you.
A
Yes,
there
is,
the
amendment
makes
the
bill
and
the.
A
C
E
Us
the
direction
code
0-1-4-8-7-7.
A
E
E
B
E
B
B
Thank
you
so
much
all
right.
We
are
now
on
number
six
on
our
calendar
house
bill
1683
and
I
see
chairman
powers
with
us.
You
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
bill.
You
may
proceed.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
just
a
little
bit
about
house
bill
1683.
This
actually
gives
more
local
control
to
leas.
It
raises
the
state
imposed
cap
of
0.5
or
one
half
a
credit
for
release
time
courses.
It
lets
lea
evaluate
a
course
and
decide
how
much
credit
to
award
up
to
one
credit
hour
per
course,
and
just
with
a
little
bit
of
background
release
time
courses
were
first
upheld
in
the
supreme
court.
N
This
particular
bill
will
put
tennessee
closer
in
line
with
other
states
that
allow
elective
credit
for
release,
time
courts,
three
of
which
have
no
state
impose
limits
or
elective
credit
for
release
time,
but
rather
let
local
school
districts
decide
how
much
credit
is
appropriate
and
just
an
example
of
that
alabama
has
no
limits
on
the
number
of
credit.
Indiana
has
no
limits.
Utah
has
no
limits.
Ohio
has
up
to
two
elective
credits.
N
South
carolina
has
up
to
two
elective
credits,
and
all
we're
trying
to
do
is
allow
for
one
tennessee
needs
to
students
need
five
elective
credits
for
graduation.
This
gives
students
more
options
to
satisfy
those
graduation
requirements.
Leas
can
still
require
release
time
courses
to
be
academically
rigorous
to
meet
for
similar
amounts
and
and
to
meet
for
similar
amounts
of
time.
As
other
elective
courses,
and
with
that,
madam
chair,
I
renew
my
motion.
B
J
J
What
liability
does
the
lea
or
the
school
assume
why
the
child
is
in
route
to
and
from
these,
the
release
time
courses.
N
Okay,
yes,
we
actually
had
we
addressed
that
issue
back
in
19,
I'm
sorry
in
2020
1920.
back
in
2020,
we
passed
a
transportation
bill
that
that
allowed
to,
if
it
relieved
any
kind
of
liability
from
the
school
or
even
the
the
bus
driver
or
van
driver,
whoever
might
be
transporting
those
that
was
house
bill.
2542.
J
N
B
Thank
you
next
on
our
list
is
representative
mckenzie.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
you
know
as
as
as
we
talked
about
in
in
some
subcommittee,
I
I
you
know,
I
I
really
appreciate
and
like
the
the
spirit
of
the
bill,
but
I
think,
as
implemented
we're
going
to
find
ourselves
in
a
facing
some
difficult
or
our
leas
will
find
themselves
facing
some
some
very
difficult
decisions
going
forward
and
and
to
me
it
kind
of
centers
around
some
one
of
the
assumptions.
I
see
a
course
in
religious
moral
instruction.
Could
you
define
that.
N
Let
me
let
me
address
one,
the
first
part
of
that
that
issue
and
we've
we've
been
doing
this.
It's
nothing
new
we've
been
doing
it
since
2015.
they've
already
been
doing,
release
time,
we're
not
inventing
anything
new,
all
we're
doing,
and
they
already
get
a
half
a
credit
and
religious
moral
instruction
is
part
of
that.
So
this
is
something
that
we've
been
doing
for
seven
years.
All
we're
trying
to
do
is
change
it.
N
This
bill
only
changes
from
a
half
a
credit
to
full
credit,
so
religious
moral
instruction
talks
about
the
history
of
the
religion,
how
it
played
a
part
in
the
founding
of
our
countries,
how
judeo-christian
values
play
a
part
and
the
founding
of
our
countries
so,
and
it
talks
about
the
history
of
different
religions
and
different
studies
of
different
texts
in
that
regard,.
O
N
Yes,
yes,
any
any
religion
that
wanted
to
want
to
start
a
release.
Time
study
at
their
particular
venue
would
be
able
to
do
that.
It
does
not
limit
any
particular
that
the
parents
have
to
sign,
for
the
leas
have
to
approve
it
and
it's
off
off
the
premises
of
the
school.
So
any
any
religion
would
be.
O
N
We
we're
giving
that
flexibility
to
the
lease
to
the
to,
though
we
feel
that
the
local
control
has
to
be
the
best
knowledge
of
what
is
allowed
on.
What
is
not
they
also,
you
know
make
sure
that
the
the
programs
are
academically
rigorous,
but
yeah.
The
lea
would
have
to
give
approval
of
it.
So.
B
Thank
you
on
our
list.
Next,
chairman
white.
F
F
N
Yeah
those
guidelines
are
already
in.
In
effect,
we
did
that
when
we
started
the
the
original
program
back
in
215
and
then
changed
it
to
a
half
a
credit,
it
was
in
20
house
bill
307
that
we
passed
in
2019
that
changed
it
to
a
half
a
credit,
so
those
guidelines
were
already
in
place
for
the
lea
and
those
other
bills.
All
we're
doing
with
this
one
is
going
from
a
half
credit
to
a
full
credit.
So
it
didn't
really
address
that
particular
issue.
N
It
it
just
simply
gives
the
led
a
the
flexibility
to
to
allow
a
program.
The
release
time
program,
just
like
it
has
been
you
know,
approved
by
the
supreme
court
and
there's
also
been
four
other
cases
in
in
circuit
courts
of
appeals
where
it
has
been
upheld.
A
A
My
question
to
you-
and
you
mentioned
also-
there
are
other
states,
five
or
six
states
doing
this
similar
formula.
So
my
question
to
you
is:
are
you
allowing
for
time
getting
to
the
play?
I
mean
what
are
the
parameters
in
terms
of?
Is
it
feasible?
We
don't
want
kids
on
a
on
a
school
bus
for
25
minutes
going
or
coming
that's
an
hour.
So
what
are
your
time
restraints
or
your
time
abilities
to
make
this
move
seamlessly
with
the
rest
of
the
stuff
that
the
kids
are
already
doing
on
in
a
given
day,
jeremy.
N
Powers,
yeah
there's
only
one
hour
allotted
and
that
counts
any
kind
of
transportation
that
might
be
available,
so
there
might
be
school
districts
that
it
may
not
be
feasible
or
they
they
might
have
something
in
in
the
future
where
they
could.
You
know,
set
up
one
that
was
close
to
the
school.
It
doesn't
have
to
necessarily
be
a
a
church
or
anything.
It
could
just
be
another
building
that
they're
using,
but
that
one
hour
period
accounts
for
transportation
time
too
so
they're
only
away
from
school.
For
that
one
hour,
okay,.
N
Yes,
that
I'm
sorry-
yes,
yes,
that's
in
the
prior
bill,
that's
in
the
ones
that
we
did
for
the
original
bill
that
we
set
up
this.
This
bill
is
only
changing
from
a
half
out
half
a
credit
to
a
full
credit.
The
original
bill
that
we
did
in
2017
is
the
one
that
did
it.
You
know
was
written
into
that
bill.
Yes,.
B
B
Yes,
thank
you.
Oh
yes,
next
we
have
representative
mannis.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
lady,
thank
you
for
bringing
this
representative
powers.
You
know
as
I've
gone
through
this
process.
C
It
resonates
in
my
mind
what
we
say
in
this
committee
over
and
over
and
over,
and
it
even
we
even
heard
it
during
confirmation
sticking
with
the
basics,
reading,
writing
and
math,
and
I
think
my
concern,
although
I
certainly
appreciate
what
you're
saying
my
concern
is,
you
know
even
increasing
this
from
half
a
credit
to
a
full
credit.
It
seems
like
now
we're
putting
more
emphasis
on
whatever
it
whatever
it
might
be,
and
we
just
got
finished
saying
we
want
to
stick
with
our
core
competency
so
to
speak
and
really
focus
on
those
things.
C
I'm
also
concerned
that
this
is
a
little
it's
a
little
open-ended.
Where
does
it?
Where
does
it
stop?
I
mean
you
know
and
the
cost
involved
with
that,
and
so,
but
more
than
anything
it's
hearing
pretty
much
everyone
on
this
committee
saying
we
want
to
stick
with
the
basics
and-
and
I
think
just
within
15
minutes
later
now
we're
back
out
with
something
else.
So
that's
just
my
perspective
on
what
we're
talking
about
right
now,.
N
Yes,
chairman
powers,
okay,
yeah,
thank
you
and,
and
that's
a
good
question,
but
this
is
an
elective,
it's
an
elective
course.
They
already
get
I'll
give
an
example.
You
can
get
a
full
credit
for
fishing
at
my
local
school
for
bowling
for
anything
else
that
you
take
as
an
elective.
This
is
simply
an
elective
course,
so
you're
we're
still
reading,
writing,
arithmetic
and
I
agree
complete
with
what
you
said,
but
as
an
elective.
B
B
All
right
chairman
reagan,.
B
C
N
N
Okay
house
bill
2472
it
it
will
just
aid.
Many
organizations
throughout
the
state
would
like
to
raise
money
to
support
local.
I'm
sorry.
I
brought
the
wrong
bill.
I've
got
too
many
notebooks
up
here.
N
House
bill
2472.
Now,
I'm
back
on
the
20
27
42,
correct,
okay,
right,
okay,
okay
in
schools,
currently
history
and
economic
cult-
I'm
sorry,
history,
economic!
N
It
requires
that
curriculums
in
grade
9
through
12
teach,
the
virtues
of
capitalism
and
the
constitutional
republic
form
of
government
in
the
u.s
as
compared
to
other
political
and
economic
systems
such
as
communism
and
socialism
in
schools.
Currently,
history,
economic
culture
and
politics
and
government
curriculums
are
comparing
and
contrasting
the
theo
theoretical
principles
of
capitalism,
socialism,
communism,
as
expressed
through
adam
smith
and
karl
marx.
N
M
Thank
you
so
much
sharon,
so
I
don't
necessarily
have
technically
well.
I
guess
it
is
a
question,
but
we
just
had
in
our
education
instruction
subcommittee
a
few
bills
that
came
before
us
that
were
similar
to
this
in
the
manner
of
like
trying
to
require
a
course
or
training
or
teaching
of,
and
so
one
of
those
was
conflict
resolution.
M
One
was
civil
rights
and
one
was
financial
literacy,
and
so,
as
the
committee,
we
all
kind
of
had
a
thought
about
it
and
agreed
that,
maybe
instead
of
requiring
it
that
we
urge
that
this
be
taught
so
that
way
that
we
obviously,
as
the
general
assembly,
have
the
ability
to
go
for
our
social
studies,
standards
committee
and
and
really
tell
them
what
it
is
that
when
they
come
before
us
to
really
tell
them
what
it
is
that
we
want
our
children
to
be
taught.
M
And
so
with
that
I
I
would
ask
that
we
change
the
must
word
in
section
b
to
to
may
right
now.
It
says
requires
to
urge.
N
M
N
Yeah
and
the
reason,
the
reason
we
did
that
as
far
as
putting
required
in
there,
it's
just
so
important
right
now.
I
think
that
our
kids
learn
about
the
difference.
We
look.
N
We
look
at
countries
like
venezuela,
cuba,
north
korea,
all
these
countries
that
have
tried
socialism
and
it's
not
working,
and
we
have
so
many
kids
that
come
out
of
high
school
now
in
college,
especially
that
that
think
socialism
is
great,
and
I
think
margaret
thatcher
said
it
best
one
time
and
she
said
socialism
is
great
until
you
run
out
of
somebody
else's
money.
So
I
think
that
we
really
need
to
teach
about
capitalism.
N
I
think
it
should
be
required
that
we
teach
about
it
and
and
how
it
compares
to
other
ideologies
of
socialism
and
communism,
and
what
the
difference
is,
because
I
know
right
now.
We
are
teaching
some
things.
We
teach
compare
and
contrast
the
principles
of
it,
but
we
also
need
to
compare
and
contrast
what
our
country
is
doing
versus
what
other
countries
are
doing
and
how
capitalism
has
made
us,
the
richest
country
and
the
greatest
country
on
earth.
M
And
I
absolutely
don't
agree
with.
I
don't
disagree
with
you,
so
I
appreciate
you
responding.
I
would
like
to
make
the
motion
to
change
the
word
from
requires
to
urge
or
from
mate
from
us
to.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
lady.
I
believe
that
this
is
a
substantive
change
and
therefore
would
not
be
a
suitable
candidate
for
an
oral
amendment.
G
C
M
If
I
could
ask
if
I
could
ask
that
we
go
to
legal,
because
I
already
had
this
question:
we're
legal.
B
B
G
Thank
you.
This
is
on
the
motion.
I
find
that
the
the
motion
is
redundant
from
the
standpoint
of
this
bill
has
already
been
through
our
subcommittee
the
opportunity
to
put
the
amendment
on
it
existed
at
that
time.
I
think
it's
unfair
to
our
sponsor,
as
well
as
to
the
members
of
the
committee
for
this
motion
to
be
taken
up
at
this
time
from
the
standpoint
of
opportunities
are
set
up
in
our
system
for
this
to
be
done,
as
opposed
to
now
in
taking
up
this
committee's
time
and
our
sponsor
as
well.
F
B
All
right,
representative
harris
on.
M
The
motion
on
the
motion,
so
I
I
agree
that
there
was
another
opportunity,
but
we
have
an
opportunity
in
subcommittee.
Full
committee
on
the
floor,
there's
multiple
opportunities
to
make
amendments
to
bills,
and
so
I
I
would
hope
that
we
all
supported
that
this
motion.
Thank
you.
M
N
G
My
comment
on
the
motion
was
to
to
deny
the
motion
to
roll
it
to
the
heel,
which
would
put
us
back
in
the
posture
of
voting
on
the
the
bill,
because
the
motion
to
amend
was
ruled
out
of
order.
So
if
this
motion
fails
to
roll
it,
we
are
back
on
the
bill
unamended
and
that's
the
reason
I
request
that
we
consider
the
bill,
as
is,
as
the
motion
maker
pointed
out,
there
is
an
opportunity
to
make
a
floor
amendment
if
he
chooses,
but
in
our
committee
system.
G
B
B
C
You
this
simple
one.
This
bill
is
a
list
of
recommendations
from
the
for
the
general
assembly
by
the
education,
recovery
and
innovation,
commission
eric
and
as
we
discovered
during
the
pandemic
and
during
natural
disasters
like
floods
and
fires.
There
is
occasionally
a
need
for
remote
learning
when
schools
are
shut
down
or
when
there's
an
emergency
situation,
and
this
bill
only
requires
that
the
local
leas,
when
they
have
the
equipment,
are
able
to
once
a
year
test
their
equipment
to
make
sure
that
the
remote
learning
equipment
works
and
to
report
fix
any
problems.
B
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
chairman.
I'm
standing
in
for
representative
cassada
today,
I'm
assuming
that
if
this
bill
does
go
to
finance
he'll,
take
this
bill
back
up
after
after
this.
What
this
does
is
an
lea
shall
grant
a
student
credit
for
english,
one
integrated,
math,
1,
algebra
1,
or
a
foreign
language
course
required
for
high
school
graduation.
I
If
the
student
attains
a
qualifying
score
in
the
course's
credit
assessment,
a
student
may
only
take
the
credit
assessment
one
time
for
each
course.
If
a
student
does
not
attain
a
qualifying
score,
then
the
student
must
enroll
in
the
course
for
which
the
credit
assessment
was
taken
and
must
make
the
requisite
end.
Of
course,
examination
at
the
conclusion
of
the
course
as
in
the
previous
bill.
This
is
another
recommendation
from
the
education.
B
All
right,
though,
it's
been
withdrawn,
representative
dixie.
J
Well,
two
questions
really:
is
this
the
bill
that
representative
castled
about?
Is
this
the
same
bill
or
is
it
that
just
kind
of
combined
or.
C
J
Yeah
one
final
question:
the
question
that
I
asked
him.
I
think
that
my
concern
was
is:
are
there
any
requirements
in
order
to
ask
to
take
to
take
this
exam,
or
can
anyone
just
come
up
and
say
hey?
I
want
to
take
this
in
math
and
not
have
any,
and
the
teacher-
and
I
have
any
background
information
on
if
this
child
or
student
is,
has
the
eligibility
or
the
knowledge
to
actually
pass
this
exam.
B
All
right
questions
been
called
all
in
favor
of
passing
turn
the
page
house
bill.
1865,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
passes
on
to
finance
ways
and
means
we
can.
We
still
have
enough
time
to
go
to
number
12
house
bill
2291
by
representative
love,
you're
recognized,
you
have
a
motion
in
a
second
will.
You
tell
us
your
amendment
drafting
code.
Please.
L
Thank
you,
madam
shell.
Eddie,
the
amendment
drafting
code.
L
As
amended
will
urge
the
state
board
to
include
in
its
academic
standards
for
social
studies,
subject
matters
around
dr
martin
luther
king
jr's
non-violent
movement
specifically
how
he
sought
to
bring
civil
rights
to
the
forefront
of
the
country
around
that
time
period
he
was
alive
using
non-violent
tactics.
A
L
A
L
A
F
Thank
you
and
chair,
lady.
Let
me
ask
you
a
question
and
appreciate
you
moving
to
urging,
but
we
just
passed
the
bill
out
number
four
house
bill
2106,
which
required
a
course
of
instruction,
basically
dealing
with
the
same
issues.
How
do
you
see
any
overlapping
with
this
urging
and
that.
L
If
you
look
at
the
standards
for
grades
9-12,
there
is
not
an
emphasis
on
dr
martin
luther
king
jr's
non-violent
tactics.
That's
given
in
the
earlier
grades.
Now
they
cover
civil
rights
in
grades
9-12.
They
cover
the
issues
around
jim
crow
grades
9-12,
but
there's
not
an
emphasis
on
his
non-violent
movement
and
the
tactics
used
by
him
to
bring
about
civil
rights.
So
one
may
ask:
why
is
this
important?
L
You
may
have
students
who
come
into
the
state
of
tennessee
who
did
not
attend
grades,
one
through
six
or
grades
six
through
eight
and
they
come
as
high
school
students.
There
have
been
polls
to
show
that
one
in
four
americans
now
believe
that
it's
okay
to
to
to
protest
in
in
a
less
than
non-violent
fashion.
So
I
think,
if
students
get
educated
on
his
non-binding
tactics,
they
can
really
see
the
importance
of
what
his
work
did.
He's
one
of
few
americans,
maybe
the
only
american.
L
M
Thank
you
sure,
woman,
so
sponsor
thank
you
for
making
the
alteration
from
requires
to
urge
and
and
this
bill.
So
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
So
much.
I
Thank
you
and,
and
chairman
love,
representative
love,
dr
love,
senator
love.
I
We
could
all
take
a
step
back
in
time
and
look
at
the
time
that
dr
king
was
around
sure
and
the
changes
that
he
was
making
for
a
race
to
save
a
country
sure,
and
I
think
we
could
probably
take
some
lessons
from
that
right
now
on
on
civil
discourse
and
go
back
to
the
way
of
we
could
have
a
conversation
about
this
disagreement
and
and
get
away
from
all
this
destruction
out
there
in
our
country.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
this
added
in
for
our
for
our
students.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you
and
that's
really.
What
I
want
to
emphasize
is
that
oftentimes,
it's
it's
glossed
over
right.
The
approach
that
he
used
when
he's
talking
about
the
non-violent
approach
to
solving
problems-
and
I
think
that's
the
key
we're
talking
about
if
we
could
lift
it
up
particularly
high
school
students
right
because
you
get
it
in
middle
school,
but
the
high
school
piece
you
really
got
to
push
it.
B
C
B
L
This
bill
has
an
amendment
also,
it's
0-1-5-3-2-3.
B
L
House,
bill
2294,
as
amended,
encourages
each
lea
and
public
charter
school
to
to
educate
students
on
the
importance
of
financial
literacy,
we're
talking
about
an
age
where
we
have
possibly
a
move
from
paper
currency
to
electronic
currency.
We
have
students
that
may
not
know
about
the
importance
of
insurance,
the
importance
of
saving
money
and
these
students
will
soon
be
working.
Jobs
in
high
school
and
many
students
may
be
going
straight
from
high
school
to
career,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
these
students
get
a
foundation
for
financial
literacy
and
the
middle
school
grades.
L
B
Thank
you
for
that
explanation.
We
have
on
the
list
for
questions
representative,
parkinson.
H
B
L
Oh
thank
you
committee.
B
Members,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
14
house
bill
2312
by
mr
representative,
griffey.
B
That's
what
we've
got
you
have
a
motion
in
second
on
your
amendment
and
without
objection.
Well,
I
add
that
to
the
bill
and
you
may
explain.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
the
amendment
does
make
the
bill
members
this
bill
would
give
each
of
us
access
to
some
of
the
tested
materials
pursuant
to
rules
to
ensure
integrity
and
confidentiality
of
the
tcap
reading
exams
and
math
exams
that
students
get
right.
Now,
it's
very
difficult
to
even
look
at
the
questions
and
get
any
expert
input
or
whatever
so
this.
This
would
allow
us
to
do
that
and
do
our
function.
That's
what
it
does.
B
B
Of
the
committee
on
15
house
bill
2000,
you
have
a
motion
and
a
second
representative
cochran,
and
you
do
have
an
amendment
we'll
give
you
a
second.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
just
rushed
from
a
meeting.
I
apologize
for
for
not
being
ready
for
you.
It's.
B
D
B
That's
correct:
you
have
a
motion
on
the
amendment.
Without
objection,
emotion
is
second,
we
will
put
it
on
your
bill
and
you
have
the.
D
Floor,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
so
I'll.
Try
not
to
to
get
too
far
in
the
weeds
on
this
one.
This
one
gets
a
little
a
little
bit
in
there,
so
I'll
try
not
to
bore
you
to
death,
essentially
right
now,
if
you
are
a
single
subject,
teacher
in
the
state
of
tennessee,
let's
say:
you're
a
seventh
grade:
science
teacher:
that's
the
year
that
they
redo
the
standards
for
seventh
grade
science
on
that
particular
year
that
they
redo
the
standards.
D
You
can't
use
your
growth
scores
from
tcap,
so
that
kind
of
that
forces
you
into
using
the
growth
scores
of
your
school
a
lot
of
times.
That's
fine,
but
you're.
If
you're,
a
really
good
teacher
who
might
be
teaching
in
a
struggling
school
that
school's
growth
score,
could
negatively
affect
you,
and
so
what
this
does
is
if
you're
in
that
situation,
and
admittedly
this
it's
not
like,
there
are
thousands
of
teachers
in
this
situation,
but
there
are
some
each
year
if
you're
in
that
situation.
D
This
allows
you
to
go
as
far
as
for
your
overall
level
of
effectiveness
score.
This
allows
you
to
lean
a
little
bit
more
on
your
observation
scores
rather
than
that
school
growth
score.
If
that
helps
you
better
again
long
story
short,
we
don't
want
to
punish
a
really
good
teacher
for
going
to
a
school
that
might
be
struggling.
We
always
want
to
incentivize
that
so
that
essentially
that's
the
the
high
points
of
what
this
bill
would
do.
B
I
B
B
B
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
members
for
taking
me
out
of
out
of
order
yeah.
So
the
build
is
very
simple.
Most
of
you
are
signed
on
and
it
creates
a
study
by
the
the
department
in
order
to
determine
how
to
best
give
our
children
driver's
ed
no
call
strive.
Is
it.
