House suspends rules, takes up SB 1199

The House is suspending its rules and taking up SB 1199, the new education policy bill on locally-directed teacher merit bonuses and state grants for technology pilot projects in school districts. It will be the last bill the House handles today; tomorrow morning, Majority Leader Mike Moyle said, the House will have three bills left, some back-and-forth with the Senate, and then it’ll be done for the session.
