Roger Brown of Gov. Butch Otter's office, the final "stakeholder" to address the Senate Education Committee before its expected vote on a three-bill school reform plan, told the committee, "The world changed on us." He said, "There's nothing radical about the three bills that are in front of you today," and said they're a "transformational agenda for education." He said, "For four years, everyone's been part of the process. ... Leaders have to lead."

He said of raising Idaho's class sizes: "That's where we get the money." He said, "It's the No. 1 priority for the governor."
