Well with the Supreme Court and the Executive Branch taking school matters into their own hands, it was only a matter of time until the House attempted to renew its efforts. So here you have it, a meeting of the Public Education Committee next Wednesday, November 30th. They'll be discussing their interim charges, then after the party comes the afterparty...

Upon conclusion of the Pub Ed meeting, we would like to have a joint meeting with the General Investigating Committee to discuss charge #8 - Research, review and investigate the expenditures of taxpayer money by local government and school boards to lobby the Legislature. Also research, review and investigate attempts by school district officials to skirt competitive bidding requirements with respect to facility renovation and construction contracts, and other relevant contracts, through the use of improper procurement contracts with associations or other school districts. We will begin the Public Education meeting at 9am and begin the joint meeting between 10:30 and 11:00am.

So there ya have it. Those school administrators were such a pain in the ass last session with their "voices of wisdom" that it'll just be easier to go after them for representing the interests of their communities than actually having to listen to them.
