Updates…
Reauthorization
The House Ed & Workforce Committee passed two bills to complete their group of five bills that make up their reauthorization package. It was a party line vote.
The committee democrats offered a package amendment to each of the two bills - one was basically accountability, the other on teachers.
Reauthorization
The committee staff is writing the report. The House leadership will decide to move it forward or not.
The Senate leadership has not scheduled time, but there has been some small amount of talk that they may do it this summer.
There are really big issues that each bill individually will still need to address.
The conference itself will be very difficult, both the House and Senate have very different ideas about how the federal role should be structured.
The amount of time on debate will be long and most do not believe that they can finish the process this year.
