I spoke in front of our State House of Education Committee on Monday. The Charter School Advocate Network is trying to have a statute passed that enables all public school students to participate in intramural extra-curricular activities. Because I've been coaching at a Charter School I was asked to speak from the point of view of a parent and coach.
The vote went really well! We tried to get this vote passed a year ago, and it failed miserably. This year it has done much better. It has gone through the senate twice. Last Friday the vote in the Representatives got very heated, and ended in a tie. Monday our network had many people, including students, in attendance, and we won unanimously! The bill now moves to the floor, and then on to the Governor.
