WEDNESDAY - SUPPORT
SUPPORT THESE THREE
HB1834: relative to the education freedom account enrollment cap.
KSC: This bill would slow down how quickly the EFA program can expand, improving modestly on current law.
HB1716: relative to the academic accountability of education freedom accounts.
KSC: This bill adds some accountability to the EFA program by requiring the Dept of Education to develop criteria for portfolio assessments that some EFA students choose instead of standardized tests, and to collect and analyze data on the academic performance of EFA students.
HB1264: increasing the requirements of the education freedom savings account oversight committee and modifying the purpose of the committee.
KSC: The EFA program has operated with almost no oversight, in part because the legislative oversight committee created to monitor it has been totally remiss in its duties under Republican leadership (e.g. it didn’t meet last year until November, right before its annual report was due.) This bill would impose reasonable requirements on the committee to improve monitoring of the EFA program.
