Today’s school reform hearing starts…

As the school reform hearing starts this afternoon, Senate Education Committee Chairman John Goedde, R-Coeur d’Alene, said he thinks there’s enough time to get through everyone who wants to testify today if everyone takes only two minutes. “We’re going to go pro and con, and there’s a very distinct reason for that,” he said, “because this committee needs to know both sides of the issue.” He noted that few of those signed up to testify are in favor of the Luna reform plan, but said the pro-con alternating shouldn’t be an issue today because everyone should get their say.
