Rep. Bob Nonini, R-Coeur d'Alene, said as he opened his closing debate on SB 1108, "I realize this touches all of our nerves in one way or another. This is a very sensitive issue." Lawmakers' minds, he said, are "pretty much made up at this point." He recalled some teachers he's had. "You do remember your good teachers," he said. But he said school districts face high costs when they try to remove a poor teacher. "That's not right," he said.
