SB 1113 clears committee on 5-4 vote
The Senate Education Committee has voted 5-4 in favor of SB 1113, the biggest piece of the Luna school reform plan, with class size increases, laptop computers for high-school students and required online courses. Sen. Chuck Winder, R-Meridian, said there's still time for amendments or trailer bills; he said the committee doesn't have the final say, as the bill still must move through the full Senate and the House. Joining the two Democrats on the panel in voting no were Sens. Toryanski and Andreason.
