MAPP in the Senate

Senator Goedde, the Senate Education Committee chairman informed me that a hearing will be held on Monday March 1 at 3:00 in the afternoon on the MAPP bill. I am visiting with Senators on the committee to try to understand their concerns so that they can be addresses during the committee hearing. So far they include:

1. Do we have assessments in place so that students can challenge classes?
2. If students graduate early, will they be mature enough?

These are the main two questions at this time.

For your info, there are 9 senators on the committee so 5 votes are needed to get the bill out of Committee to the floor of the Senate. It looks like it will be close.
