      Chairman Raatz tells members that he won't be hearing HB 1002 and HB 1209 today. Amendments for these bills are still likely being worked on.

      Committee is now considering HB 1003. Members amended the bill by consent to add some more reporting info to be collected. Bill would set goals for schools to spend at least 85% of their education funding on classroom expenses, including teacher salaries. Bill passes 8-2.

      During active shooter drill, four teachers at a time were taken into a room, told to crouch down and were shot execution style with some sort of projectiles - resulting in injuries to the extent that welts appeared, and blood was drawn.

          The teachers were terrified, but were told not to tell anyone what happened. Teachers waiting outside that heard the screaming were brought into the room four at a time and the shooting process was repeated.

          No one in education takes these drills lightly. The risk of harming someone far outweighs whatever added realism one is trying to convey here. ISTA requests an amendment in bill so that more reasonable limits are placed on these drills.

          HB 1629 would also require the state board, when approving any Core 40 curriculum models, adopt a graduation requirement that students must file the FAFSA as condition of graduation.

          FAFSA requirement may be waived only if student signs a waiver as an adult, the parent signs a waiver or some extenuating circumstances.

          ISTA testifies on HB 1629. Appreciates Rep. Behning working with ISTA on sections of the bill. Have concerns that redefining elementary schools might inadvertently open the voucher program to schools offering only pre-K and kindergarten.

          ISTA also has concerns that requiring a FAFSA may have unintended consequence of penalizing students by preventing them from graduating, merely due to the failure to complete a form - may disproportionately impact lower income students.
