Today, the House Education Committee considered House Bill 16 by Rep. Frieman. This legislation could have undone our work over the summer to institute minimum COVID-19 safety standards in schools, as laid out by BESE. Fortunately, the bill was amended. Thank you to Rep. Jefferson for his questions, Rep. Hilferty for her amendment, and everyone who worked together to ensure our kids’ safety is the #1 priority! #lalege #laed #covid19
