[Durham INC] Fw: Charter Bill passes Senate

[Melissa Rooney]

From the DARE listserv:


So the charter school bill passed the full Education Committee as presented out 
of the subcommittee; all in less than an hour.  Senator Graham offered an 
amendment that would have created a weighted lottery system such that the 
charters could reflect the diversity of the community.  It also included 
language to strengthen the possibility that the charters provide transportation 
and lunch – it was voted down.  Our own Senator McKissick had 6 friendly 
amendments –he was never recognized by the chair.
                The bill now goes to the Senate floor where it will most likely 
pass.  Then it goes to the House, perhaps to subcommittee but more likely to 
full committee.  We should continue to share our concerns with our House 
delegation, and the members of the House Education committee.
