Idaho Republican senators are looking for ways to revise the centerpiece of Tom Luna’s education-reform package so class sizes can remain at their current level and local districts have more flexibility in spending their state dollars. Senate Bill 1113 passed out of the Senate Education Committee 5-4 earlier this month, but wavering support and a lack of votes in the Senate persuaded Republicans to consider changes, even as they passed the other two parts of school Superintendent Luna’s overhaul on Thursday — a pay-for-performance plan and a rewriting of the labor contracts between districts and teachers.
