Governor Huckabee is circulating a draft
education reform plan that would make high schools with less than
425 students possible targets for consolidation.
A draft of either legislation or an initiated act has been
passed among some legislators for their input since late last week.
Huckabee discussed the new plan with the heads of the Senate and
House education committees this afternoon, but details of the
meeting and the proposed plan were NOT released.
Senator Jim Argue, who heads the Senate Education Committee,
sponsored Huckabee`s education-reform legislation in the 2003
regular session. He says the governor is fine-tuning his plan.
Representative Calvin Johnson, who is chairman of the House
Education Committee, offered no specifics but says he found the
governor`s proposal an effort at compromise.
