Where it stands

House: CONCURRED · Senate: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT

Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.

A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee — OUGHT TO PASS

Rep. Walter Spilsbury

This bill would require of both the Department of Education and the Department of Revenue Administration that any annual school compliance and financial reports being sent to a district be directed to “every elected school board official, school superintendent, and school business administrator.” Recent financial difficulties of Claremont School District revealed that school board members had, in various ways, been deprived of directly seeing obvious clues from these state agencies that the district’s finances were in disarray. The bill’s purpose is to ensure that the district’s administration cannot act as a bottleneck in the flow of critical information important to the school board’s governance and oversight roles. Vote 18-0.
