"If we don't start now we risk holding our students back," state schools Supt. Tom Luna told the House Education Committee, introducing SB 1184, his third school-reform bill. "These are changes we have all talked about for many, many years, more technology in the classroom, more professional development for teachers, dual credit opportunities for students and more."

Now, Luna aide Jason Hancock is starting to go through the bill, which the House committee hasn't been presented with before - not even its earlier versions, as committee Chairman Bob Nonini pointed out - section by section. Hancock, however, is focusing on the differences from SB 1113, the earlier version, saying he thinks the committee is "fairly familiar with SB 1113."
