I Enjoy These Updates So Much, What is Happening To Them?
Well, dear reader, we’re glad you asked. Flattered even. You won’t be hearing from us as often over the rest of the summer and fall, but don’t fret! Outside of the Legislative session we bring you updates on an as-needed basis, so as not to clog your inbox. When we have K-12 policy related information to share with you, you’ll get an email from us. There were things that happened right at the end of the Legislative session that we haven’t told you about yet, like federal firearms legislation and action on USDA school lunch waivers. And there are new Legislative districts to investigate as well as election results to parse. Never a dull moment. Thank you for reading this session and we hope you will continue to subscribe.
