I was going to see the two states that you said gave us more questions, or answered the seven questions back to us. Anything glowing that you noticed bad about them, good about them, anything beyond what we already

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Dec. 16, 2019 (1:20:25)

you, Mr. Chair. Senator Hammer, I was driving in when I got the email that you just referenced.

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Dec. 16, 2019 (18:23)

frameworks or what they're testing I mean I get it's a national test but they've

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Dec. 16, 2019 (17:49)

So it's like 2000 2003 2005 all put together yes sir and I guess my question I mean obviously you're trying to present a causal relationship because of this this caused this I guess my question would be has nape changed over those years or has other factors that you've become aware of change I mean because we don't have the same assessments we had back in 2003 we've changed over the years and you know but I guess my question would be NAEP is supposed to have changed since then as well correct as far as their

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Dec. 16, 2019 (17:36)

You mr. Chair represent mecca I had I guess a similar question so the darker Bar is the average then of all these test scores put together from however when they started till now over the NAEP scores

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Jan. 7, 2020 (1:04:37)

virtual schools were virtual school that's what was throwing me off because I was thinking okay an instrument of music how can you do that virtually you don't learn to play the piano by reading a book about how to play the piano and so I was throwing me off but I understand what you're saying now as

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Jan. 7, 2020 (1:04:22)

had heard and maybe i had heard it wrong like for example on instrumental music you said there was three enrolled but you didn't know there we have four

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Jan. 7, 2020 (1:03:26)

questions? Senator Sturge. One more Julie just real quick. Thank you Madam Chair. On the different slides that you have where you're talking about the different districts and the high schools and what they're offering as far as the instrumental music, chemistry, and so forth. You were able, in your presentation, now it's not here on the page, but you were able to break that down as far as either whether it was in person or virtually and things like that.

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Jan. 7, 2020 (51:42)

in your presentation for example like chemistry was taken out as far as one of the required 38 it was usually their decision based on either something they've seen as far as they've incorporated some of the same standards and other courses or how is it that they can just go ahead and say we don't have to have that as required is it because the same standards are being taught elsewhere or how is that connection made I'll probably turn this over to them I

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Jan. 7, 2020 (51:12)

but how are the 38 courses how often are they looked at and

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Jan. 7, 2020 (51:06)

know for academic standards we do a rotation system social studies you know sciences every five years or so

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Jan. 7, 2020 (50:34)

the actual report uh page seven kind of top of the page i'm wanting to go back to discussion about how these 38 courses are determined we gave up that power as far as the legislature to review that I guess is the best way you put it in the top of the report and that is now done through the State Board of Education I'm wondering how frequent that is how often are these 38 courses reviewed how many how many times a year or how many times during five years has it changed you

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Jan. 7, 2020 (50:30)

madam chair julie i had a couple of quick questions i'm on

Legislative Joint Auditing — Jan. 24, 2020 (1:29:51)

question i suppose um to representative mayberry's motion she's wanting to treat this report as if it was not reviewed so then procedurally what would that entail as far as are we just then giving ourselves another opportunity to have them come or is it actually holding up anything or delaying any kind of you know pressing charges anything like that or yes sir that's exactly it we'll just it'll stay it'll be an item

Legislative Joint Auditing — Jan. 24, 2020 (1:29:47)

sorry that's all right mr chair thank you i i'm an alternate so i had a procedural

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Feb. 10, 2020 (3:24:41)

is that would be one-time money for an ongoing expenditure yeah it's when you're

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Feb. 10, 2020 (3:24:36)

get it i'm sorry say that again the problem

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Feb. 10, 2020 (3:22:50)

it and some schools don't so tell me then what is something that you can come up with or

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Feb. 10, 2020 (3:22:41)

something different or that we put a cola of two and a half percent or three percent which is going against what you're saying because you're saying some schools need

Education Committee - Senate & House Meeting Jointly with Advanced Communications & Information — Feb. 10, 2020 (3:22:09)

problem better than most of our colleagues that are in the house and the senate elsewhere so i hear all these ideas being thrown out there but you got to remember our challenge is that we work within a uniform system and we're having to try to fix individual district problems so i don't care what you throw out there but i'd like to hear at least some idea as far as whether it is going to be that we mandate a salary schedule but that also then goes back to the local control issue or that we changed the URT instead of 25 mils
