Before the Joint Committee on Education this week

I'm thinking this should be a regular feature...I'll try to get some links up on this over the weekend.
Tuesday is charter school bill day:
H170 and S186 are the bills requiring local approval of charter schools, or, if the state imposes it, the state pays for it.
H2722 increased accountability for charter schools
H1925 would require a 14 member charter study group
H1961 would require excess public school buildings be transferred to charter schools
H1935 would give charters to schools for 7 years rather than 5.

The Joint Committee on Education meets at 10 am at the State House (not sure which room yet). I'm writing up some testimony today.
