Education Committee Expands Support for Public
Charter School Initiative -
Full Story |
A Curious Thing Happened in the Maine Senate Today!It
was expected that the Senate would vote today (March 14) on the bill to
allow public chartered schools for children at risk in
Maine, LD 1640. The bill had
come out of the Education Committee with a 7-5 vote “ought not to pass.”
With such a closely divided report, both proponents and opponents expected a
close vote and were present and prepared for a lively discussion in the
Senate. Two newspapers and Channel 6 were there to cover the debate.
It is uncertain whether the bill will be taken
up for a vote at the next Senate session, this Thursday (it wasn't), or next week
(Tuesday March 21 is the next option).
We’ll let you know as soon as we hear.
Once voted on
in the Senate, the debate will move to the House. Thanks for everybody’s
hard work so far - it’s paying off! |
