The Montana State Senate has just voted 26 – 24 to take HB 376 from the table in Senate Education and place the bill on 2d reading for debate. See vote here - http://bit.ly/2pjqmSA
HB 376 (Windy Boy) – Fiscal Note. Legal Review Note. Passed House – Vote. TABLED Senate Education. Establishes local school district charter schools through a politicized state charter commission, “not subject to the general supervision of the board of public education or the accreditation standards.” See 10.55.604.
This is ridiculous of course. Could be related to vote trading or other motives. It doesn’t matter. It’s a last session sneak attack.
I urge everyone receiving this email to contact senators: Tell them to just say NO to a really bad charter school bill that will serve NO useful purpose . . . and if passed should be vetoed . . . and if not vetoed will definitely be challenged in court.
Remember you can call and leave a written message for up to five legislators at time - 406 444 – 4800. This is a good if not the best way to get the word to Senators right now.
Or you can email here - http://leg.mt.gov/css/Sessions/65th/legwebmessage.asp
Thanks.
