The Senate has reconvened and is taking up the five public school budget bills that earlier passed the House. The first one, on the division of administrators, passed on a 26-7 vote, with opposition coming from the Senate’s six Democrats who are present and Sen. Gary Schroeder, R-Moscow. “Cutting budgets for public schools and public school administrators is not something that any of us in this body would like to be doing,” said Sen. Dean Mortimer, R-Idaho Falls, the floor sponsor of the bill, HB 323. “The current economic times demand the cuts that we’ve done, and as a finance committee, we have worked very diligently to keep those cuts to the absolute minimum.”
