The Home Stretch

This week, we entered the final 30 days of the 2013 Legislative Session. This is the time when things really start to pick up, and we begin to see a lot of votes and action in the Legislature. Even though we are two-thirds through the session, there is still a ton of work left to do!


 Many proposals remain outstanding, including some big issues for education. Here's a quick look at just a few of the major pieces of legislation we are still watching:

 AB 288 - Eliminates the high school proficiency exam and replaces it with a new assessment system
