Governor Gives Rep. Kim Williams' Co-Chair Nod For Her Own HB 90 Task Force

Kim Williams sent this along yesterday when I asked her to keep me updated on the progress of the HB 90 Task Force ~

Today, I was notified that I have been appointed to the Task Force and will be co-chairperson.  I will let you know when the first meeting will be held.

Thanks,

Kim Williams

State Representative 19th District

The official press release for Williams' HB 90 noted that it created "a task force to explore enrollment preferences at magnet, vocational technical and charter schools and developing recommendations as necessary." And that "under the bill, the task force, which would include legislators, school administrators, district superintendents, teachers and parents, would be required to issue a final report to the General Assembly by January 31, 2014."

Unlike the Charter School Law Revision "working group" that led to Rep. Earl Jaques' highly controversial HB 165, this HB 90 task force is expected to conduct their meetings in the sunshine and I presume that there will soon be a formal announcement of the appointees and their meeting schedule.
