State Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna told the Senate Education Committee, "The testimony that was given to this committee over those three days was not window-dressing to us. We heard good ideas and good comments, and we've responded accordingly."

The Senate Education Committee then quickly voted to introduce all three of Luna's new bills; the single motion passed without discussion, and Chairman John Goedde, R-Coeur d'Alene, said the committee will have the bills back on Wednesday for more discussion.
