House and Senate Democrats have issued a statement on the Luna school reform plan, rejecting it as a "job-killing plan" that's "more about politics than promoting student performance." The minority party said, "Though there may be some worthy ideas rolled into the two hefty bills, Mr. Luna’s omnibus approach leaves us no choice but to assess the legislation as an all-or-nothing proposition. As such, we can only conclude that this job-killing plan is about trying to weather a fiscal crisis and avoid politically difficult decisions rather than truly boosting student achievement and enhancing student readiness for college and the global economy."
