ESEA Update
The final bill is set to come out on the 30th. BATs will be reading this and issuing a report on any language that has changed since our last read on this several months ago. The House should be voting on the 2nd or 3rd and the Senate will probably vote on it December 7th. The larger concern is that there is NO debate on this bill. This is concerning and BATs will mobilize to address any issues that we see with the bill and to make sure that there is debate and public comment on it.
Stay Tuned and BE READY TO MOBILIZE!

IDAHO - MARY OLLIE
The Idaho Legislature begins the 2016 session in January. Little has appeared in the news except a discussion of including school nurses, librarians, and counselors in the career ladder. Since the 2015 bill has a test score component and uses the Danielson Framework, it will be interesting to see how the legislature will proceed.
