Late nights at the Capitol, part 2

We just got word that the RTTT conference committee is going to meet again Friday at 12:01 AM. Yep, that's right, 1 minute after midnight. It seems like there has been serious disagreement between the Senate (Sen Kuipers) and the House (Rep. Melton) regarding charter schools expansion. Within the charter school issue, Sen. Kuipers would like to add 100 charter schools and change the requirements to allow more charters to open.

Cyber schools, tenure, and school reform are also still being discussed. Lots of people are trying to get presents under this education christmas tree.

Keep contacting your legislator through email, phone, text, FB, twitter or any other way that you communicate with your rep and senator. Remind them to read each bill. Even though it will be early Friday morning, they need to know what is in the bills that they will be voting on.
