During the first week of the Legislative Session, Governor Kelly introduced a budget that fully funded schools for the third year in a row. Yet, the Legislature adjourned for their spring break – after 10 weeks in session – without passing a K-12 budget. Why? Because the supermajority of conservative legislators can’t decide how much bad policy to include with it.

The House has a mega-monster bill ready for more discussion. This is House Substitute for House Bill 2615. This bill contains an expansive voucher program under which students may attend unaccountable and unaccredited private schools at taxpayer expense.
