Here's a link to my full story at spokesman.com on the House Education Committee's passage today of two of state schools Supt. Tom Luna's school reform bills, SB 1108 on teacher contracts, and SB 1110 to set up a teacher performance pay plan. After the meeting, committee Chairman Bob Nonini, R-Coeur d'Alene, said, "I'm looking forward to the floor debate - I'm sure it'll be an interesting and long debate on the floor." He said, "Obviously these are important bills."
