All,

There has been a lot of work done to get the bill this far with a lot more ahead. It is a step in the right direction. This type of bill had to be attached to an existing department and since this partnership is in it's infancy, what made the most sense was to have the funding go through the Board of Education per the research done by the author. You are welcome to watch the hearing.

There is a lot of work to be done but this is a start. Please be mindful of the hardwork that has gone into this effort.
