1:24:05Now PlayingA bill focused on helping students improve their reading skills passed the Senate Tuesday, May 3. Sponsored by Education Chair Roger Chamberlain, R-Lino Lakes, the bill calls upon school boards to develop plans for ensuring that students reach 90 percent reading efficiency by third grade. It also appropriates $30 million for the training of teachers in the LETRS--Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling--program.
Much of the debate on the measure focused on educational funding efforts not included in the bill. DFL-sponsored amendments to increase appropriations for mental health services, English language courses, special education and per-pupil funding failed to gain majority support.
The Senate and House education bills will be sent to a conference committee, where members will be charged with resolving the differences.
The Senate also acted on the following two bills:
H.F. 3254 (Pratt): Prohibited contract terms clarification regarding choice of venue.
H.F. 3545 (Duckworth): Horse racing breeder fund use provided.
