House Bill 1190 first Prime Sponsor Bill Hearing this Session
By Jason | February 3, 2010
House Bill 1190, legislation that will change the Opportunities Scholarship to include Career and Technical Education courses in the elective category along with world languages is up for a Committee Hearing on Wednesday at 7:45am. The House Education Committee will hear testimony and decide final action on the proposed legislation.
This Bill has been enjoyable working through all necessary channels to garner support. I will directly be able to see the benefits to this legislation because I teach dual credit high school students who take agriculture education courses at Lake Area Technical Instititute.
School superintendents, school counselors, teachers, and industry professionals have voiced their support for Career and Technical Education and want to see this bill become law.
I am fortunate to have a solid Prime Sponsor in the “other Chamber”, Sen. Russ Olson. Last session I worked with Sen. Olson to change the High School graduation requirements to allow more flexibility for our Career and Technical Education and credit towards core content like math and science.
