Legislative Day Thirty-Four

By Jason | March 8, 2009

Due to the “snow day” last week we had session today to keep on track with our schedule.

I had my first Bill up on the House Floor today.

Senate Bill 140 received strong support for its passage in the SD House of Representatives.  Sen. Julie Bartling brought this Bill to Pierre, as an avenue for school districts to enter into whole-grade sharing contracts.   I have enjoyed working with Sen. Bartling on this Bill, and I am glad she asked me to help out!

Senate Bill 185 also received strong support in the SD House.  This Bill removes the “Basic” category in the High School graduation requirements.  The recommended program also was strengthened to include balance for Career and Technical Education coursework.  Sen. Russ Olson and I served as the Prime Sponsors for this Bill.
