| Description: You know we got 20 something new democrats that were term limited democrats that were opposed to it. Now that we have some new democrats that I think are more educated, more orientated to education, and understand the need to provide a better quality of education. |
Opposition to the bill may come from Democrats and Republicans alike, some who are opposed to vouchers, others who are aligned with union groups that oppose transferring school districts.
The bill would give the department of Elementary and Secondary Education the right to establish the criteria.
