Luna: People riled up

State schools Supt. Tom Luna pitches his education reform legislation to the Senate Education Committee on Monday, at the first of four days of hearings on the two-bill package.

There’s been “an organized attempt to get people riled up” over his school reform plan, state Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna told the Senate Education Committee. He said people have focused on his proposals to require online courses, provide a laptop for every high school student and increase class sizes in grades 4-12 rather than his proposals to eliminate tenure for new teachers and make other changes to teacher contracts, because “those issues don’t get people riled up.” Betsy Russell, EOB More.

So. Are you riled up?
