Goedde: ‘Proud of everyone that participated’

Sen. John Goedde, R-Coeur d'Alene, praises the hundreds and hundreds of people who participated in hearings on school reform over the past two weeks; his comments came late Thursday, after the committee he chairs approved all three bills in the Luna school reform plan, sending them on to the full Senate - though one just squeaked through on a 5-4 vote.

After today's intense, three-hour Senate Education Committee hearing - at the end of which all three bills in the Luna school reform plan passed, though one just squeaked through on a 5-4 vote - committee Chairman John Goedde, R-Coeur d'Alene, said, "It was a couple really hard weeks, and I'm proud of everyone that participated. It shows their commitment to the education system in Idaho and their concern."
