House Education Instruction Committee- March 10, 2021
A
A
Good
morning,
sorry,
for
the
being
a
couple
of
minutes
late,
I
know
several
of
us
are
in
and
out
of
other
committees
presenting
bills,
and
so
thank
you
for
indulging
us
these
three
minutes
that
we're
starting
late.
It's
good
to
see
everyone
today
and
I
would
like
to
ask
our
clerk:
will
you
please
call
the
roll.
B
A
A
A
C
C
Let
me
and
thank
you
and
let
me
add,
to
the
compliment
chair.
Lady
moody
has
been
leading
a
charge
on
human
trafficking
prior
to
me,
even
in
entering
the
legislature,
and
I
value
her
leadership
and
want
to
continue
to
follow
in
her
footsteps,
and
so
what
my
bill
hb
117
does.
It
takes
her
original
bill
for
one-time
human
trafficking
training
to
once
every
three
years
and
it's
a
20-minute
video,
that's
developed
by
restore
corps
in
slavery
and
grocery,
which
are
three
key
human
trafficking
organizations
about
a
20-minute
video.
C
But
we
all
know
the
the
human
trafficking
tends
to
change
as
technology
evolves
as
the
game
evolves,
as
the
strategies
evolve
in
order
to
ensure
they
can
do
this
without
getting
caught.
But
we
want
to
make
sure
our
teachers
are
aware
of
what
are
the
signs
because
many
of
these
traffickers-
it's
not
glamorous
like
we
see
on
the
movies
where
you
know
they're
getting
kidnapped
in
these
countries
or
as
a
bunch
of
immigrants.
A
D
A
B
Thank
you
representative.
Thank
you
for
carrying
this
piece
of
legislation.
I
was
going
to
share
when
I
first
got
elected.
I
had
a
detective
from
detroit
african-american
lady
kathy
hines
was
her
name,
and
she
brought
this
issue
up
to
me
and,
and
she
was
talking
about
human
trafficking,
and
I
just
I
just
didn't
believe
that
kind
of
stuff
existed
in
our
culture.
You
know
remember
this
is
11
years
ago
on
first
elected.
B
Let
me
ask
you
guys
you're
a
little
younger
than
most
of
us
up
here,
as
I'm
I'm
a
little
older,
so
I've
seen
society
kind
of
digress
or
you
know,
lack
a
better
term.
Why
do
you
think
these
things
are
happening
in
our
culture,
because
I'd
have
never
thought
this
stuff
happened
20
years
ago?
If
it
did,
it
was
just
so
isolated.
Why
has
this
gotten
worse?
It
seems
like
what's
your
thoughts
on
that.
C
Absolutely,
in
my
personal
opinion
as
london,
yes,
ma'am.
I
think
this
is
happening
because
again
the
reason
why
I'm
bringing
this
bill
it
tends
to
evolve.
It's
also
one
of
those
crimes
that
have
been
talked
about
behind
closed
doors.
It's
been
very
taboo.
There
wasn't
a
lot
of
education
about
what's
going
on,
but
with
the
increase
of
technology
us
being
able
to
bring
these
issues
to
the
forefront,
much
much
quicker
and
then
be
able
to
engage
the
community
in
an
advocacy
way
to
help
reduce
these
crimes.
C
I
think
that's
why
you
now,
all
of
a
sudden
see
so
much
human
trafficking
advocacy
on
the
forefront,
because
we
do
have
more
access
to
technology
law
enforcement,
do
have
access
to
more
technology
to
help
protect
victims,
and
so
the
more
technologically
advanced
we
become,
the
more
craftier
and
savvier
we
can
get
at
reducing
some
of
these
crimes.
But
you
know
a
lot
of
sex
crime
has
historically,
we
don't
want
to
talk
about
them.
C
We
don't
want
to
talk
about
them,
but
we
have
to
talk
about
it
because
it's
real
and
it's
happening
in
our
community,
and
you
know
just
as
soon
as
2018.
It
was
like
the
second
highest
rising
crime
in
tennessee,
and
so
we
are
really
serious
about
protecting
victims.
This
is
one
of
the
ways
of
doing
it
by
supporting
this
bill
so
that
our
teachers
can
join
into
that
fight
and
join
us
to
the
advocacy
and
protecting
our
youth.
E
Sir,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
want
to
have
a
comment
to
express
publicly
how
proud
I
am
of
our
one
of
our
youngest
members
of
this
house.
She
is
really
really
bringing
great
legislation,
meaningful
legislation,
impactful
legislation
and
and
doing
a
good
job
of
moving
it.
I
I
just
want
you
to
know
I'm
proud
of
you
and
thank
you
for
the
legislation.
Thank
you.
A
D
F
F
Jefferson
hickey,
so
this
is
my
advanced
advanced
coursework
act.
This
bill
is
needed
because-
and
I
can
give
you
some
real
life
examples
that
actually
happen
to
me.
This
bill
will
allow
a
kid,
a
student
that
will
allow
the
lea
to
set
a
benchmarks
of
what
they
whatever
they
would
like.
So
if
a
student
meets
these
benchmarks,
they're
automatically
placed
in
the
next
available
advanced
coursework,
if
seats
are
available,
whether
it's
in
science,
english
or
math,
and
just
a
quick
side
note
story
for
me.
F
So
this
is
how
I
got
into
the
honors
pro
honors
program
when
I
was
in
high
school.
My
my
best
friend's
mom
was
the
principal
and
she
told
me
these:
are
the
classes
you're
going
to
take?
These
are
honest
classes
because
she
knew
I
was
an
above
average
student,
but
that's
how
I
got
in.
It
was
strictly
off
her
telling
me
that
so
and
that's
still
that
practice
still
continues
to
this
day.
F
This
makes
it
more
subjective,
so
it
gives
more
students
an
opportunity
to
have
a
chance
to
take
these
classes
that
will
prepare
them
for
for
for
the
college
coursework
and
for
life.
With
this,
basically,
I
take
any
questions.
It's
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
rocket
scientist
just
to
try
to
make
sure
that
every
lea
has
some
basic
policy
that
will
allow
these
kids
to
participate
in
these
classes.
A
A
A
H
Thank
you,
cheerleader
moody,
representative
dixie.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
bringing
this
education
creates
opportunity,
and
these
are
the
children
that
are
gonna,
be
the
next
people
possibly
sitting
right
here
in
these
seats
and
everything
we
can
do
to
move,
move
these
educational
outcomes
further,
that
fan's
pretty
bad,
isn't
it
when
you're
standing
right
under
it?
You
stay
right
under
it,
but
thank
you
for
bringing
this.
H
B
A
B
Thank
you,
representative
dixie.
Thank
you,
madam
cheerleading.
You
know
representative
dixie.
If,
if
different
schools
offer
different
kinds
of
advanced
courses
like
we
already
have
kind
of
in
knox
county,
will
the
lea
policy
be
able
to
be
flexible
to
those
specific
programs
that
are
already
existing.
F
Yes,
that's
the
whole
purpose
of
this
bill
is
to
give
the
flexibility
to
the
lea,
so
they
can
design
a
program
that
fits
their
their
needs
because
it
at
the
end
of
the
day
they
understand
the
needs
of
their
students
and
and
what
classes
and
coursework
that
they
have
so.
Yes,
it
does
allow
for
that
flexibility,
okay,.
E
Thank
you,
chair
lady
moody,
chair,
lady
moody.
You
you
have
the
softest
voice
of
a
chairperson
that
I
think
and
and
and
it's
just
so
it's
so
soothing
to
me.
You
know,
hey
look.
Unfortunately,
you
don't
have
the
gavel
today,
the
chairman's
picky,
but
I
just
thank
you,
chair
lady
moody,
and
to
my
to
my
colleague
I
just
wanted
to
tell
you
you
know
kind
of
echo
the
words
I
gave
to
representative
lamar.
E
You
know
these
are
some
really
really
good
pieces
of
legislation,
and
you
know
that
will
you
know
give
our
our
our
students,
our
children,
you
know
that
edge
that
that
they
need
and-
and
you
would
think
that
we-
we
would
have
done
this
a
long
time
ago.
But
there
are,
you
know,
areas
just
little
little
connecting
areas
that
you
know
we
may
have
missing.
This
is
one
of
those
and
I
really
appreciate
you
bringing
the
legislation
and
thanks
I'm
honored,
to
be
signed
on
to
it
too.
A
A
G
G
A
In
2015,
we
passed
a
law
that
said,
tennessee
would
no
longer
use
common
core
standards
and,
of
course,
you
know
that
takes
a
a
while
to
get
going.
So,
as
we
have
gotten
to
that
level,
the
this
was
brought
to
our
attention
and
the
amendment
will
clarify
where,
of
course,
we
want
to
always
think
of
our
tennessee
standards
first,
and
we
do
recognize
that
there
will
be
some
time,
an
intersectionality
of
common
core
agreeing
with
our
tennessee
standards.
A
In
that
case
those
are
allowable,
but
when
it's
strictly
common
core,
when
it
is
blatantly
labeled
only
common
core,
we
those
are
the
materials,
the
supplemental
materials
that
we
are
objecting
to
and
to
to
give
it
some
enforcement
to
it.
We
are
allowing,
of
course,
we
believe
this
will
start.
The
recognition
of
any
infractions.
A
Would
start
at
your
local
level,
but
if
it's
not
if
they
are
not
dealing
with
it
and
for
whatever
reasons
it
will
go
up
to
the
the
commissioner
of
the
department
of
education
and
she
will
have
the
ability
to
remove
part
of
their
bep
funding
according
to.
If
it's
an
egregious
absolutely
refusal
to
comply,
then
that
will
go
up
that
high.
That
will
be
the
piece
that
will
be
the
enforcement
piece,
and
I
probably
butchered
that.
But
I
will
hush
and
see
let
the
vice
chair
take
over.
G
D
A
G
I
Time,
thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair,
charlie,
buffalino
tennessee
department
of
education,
so,
chairman
white,
this
amendment
is
the
same
as
the
senate
with
one
word
change.
It
changes
an
and
to
an
or,
but
that
is
the
only
different
difference
with
the
amendment
that
the
senate
adopted
in
their
education
committee
last
week,
and
that
will
be
on
the
floor
tomorrow.
I
Thank
you
chairman.
Yes,
I
believe
so.
I
think
this
adds
clarity
and
I
want
to
sort
of
acknowledge
chairman
hasten.
We
had
a
verbal
amendment
and
subcommittee
last
week
that
I
think
started
that
process
and
then
legal
services
tighten
that
up
even
further,
which
brought
us
to
the
point
with
this
clarifying
language.
I
H
Thank
you,
mr
buffalino,
in
this
bill,
there's
two
sections
in
here:
one
is
about
leas
kind
of
self-policing
themselves,
making
sure
principals
or
teachers
stay
in
compliance
with
with
this
law
that,
as
it
moves
forward-
and
I
want
to
just
brief
comment
on
that-
and
also
about
the
section
that
was
added
in
to
give
the
commissioner
the
authority
that,
if
she
finds
or
he
finds
a
violation
of
this
code,
that
they
they
shall
withhold
bep
funds.
However,
that
is
at
the
discretion
of
the
commissioner.
I
Thank
you
for
the
question
chairman.
Yes,
I
think
that's,
that's.
That's
a
very
worthwhile
thing
to
note.
I
think,
first
and
foremost,
we
do
anticipate
as
whenever
there
are
changes
to
our
law
that
our
local
districts
are
going
to
take
care
of
those.
Whenever
we
hear
about
a
violation
of
state
law
or
perceived
violation,
you
know
our
first
call
is
always
to
reach
out
to
the
director
of
schools.
I
Talk
to
them,
give
them
an
opportunity
to
look
into
it,
and
I
I
fully
am
confident
that
that
will
be
the
case
with
this
law
if
it
is
to
become
law
as
well.
But
yes,
there
is
explicit
language
in
the
bill
that
states
that
if
there
is
an
intentional
and
purposeful
violation
of
this
code,
that
the
commissioner
shall
withhold
funds,
and
so
I
think
it
makes
that
that
intent
very
clear
in
terms
of
that.
J
Representative
picky
already
asked
that
question
that
I
initially
was
going
to
ask
but
years
ago,
when
this
I
remember
when
core,
when
core
common
core
was
actually
in
place,
the
changes
were
made
to
what
we
considered
the
s.a.t,
and
so
those
changes
went
into
effect
in
2015
to
2016
to
include
common
core
and
so
with
them
remote
with
us
removing
it.
Now,
how
are
we
going
to
make
sure
that
those
students
still
are
able
to
get
the
information
they
need
to
be
able
to
satisfy
the
sat.
I
That's
a
good
question.
Thank
you
representative.
I
think
there
has
been
a
process
since
2015
for
states
that
have
moved
away
from
common
core,
like
tennessee
and
publishers,
to
have
to
realign
their
standards
in
a
way
that
aligned
to
state
standards.
That
is
something
that
every
publisher,
that's
in
the
state
that
is
on
the
approved
list
or
has
a
waiver
has
had
to
go
through.
You
know
it
was
repealed
and
replaced
in
2015..
I
Folks
like
the
sat
and
the
aact
have
had
to
go
through
a
similar
process
to
make
sure
that
there's
sort
of
alignment
there
and
obviously
those
are
important
assessments
in
terms
of
assessing
post-secondary
student
readiness.
So
that's
a
process
that
certainly
hasn't
been
unique
to
tennessee
or
that
specific
provider,
but
that
someone
really
that
across
the
country
folks
have
had
to
do
over
the
course
of
the
last
five
six
years.
Thank
you.
B
I
No
that
that's
not
correct.
The
commissioner
has
broad
discretionary
authority
for
any
violation
of
of
title
49
law
to
withhold
fundings.
The
the
difference
here
is
that
it
actually
mandates
that
withholding
of
funding
in
the
legislation,
but
she
has
broad
discretionary
authority
to
withhold
funding
for
for
any
violation
of
title
49.
G
Remember:
okay:
now
we
are
back
on
the
amendment.
Are
there
any
further
questions
for
the
sponsor
on
the
questions
on
the
amendment
of
4479,
there's
been
a
question
called
all
right:
we're
ready
to
vote
so
all
those
in
favor
of
putting
the
amendment
4479
onto
house
bill
782
signify
by
saying
aye,
and
he
knows
eyes.
Have
it
all
right.
We
are
back
on
the
bill
as
amended
house
bill,
782
we're
ready
to
vote.
