The 2015-17 General Assembly is off to a good start with many important priorities and measures to keep the reform momentum going.  Under the new House rules adopted yesterday, there are now three separate Education Committees (see Rule 27) – one for K-12, one for Community Colleges and one for Higher Education.  As Sara and Jenna pointed out last week – this is a very good idea.  Reforms in education are still needed and as Terry explains what else  need to be done: performance-based pay, testing, transparency and school funding.  Let’s get to work!
