Yesterday, the budget amendments from Delegates and Senators were
posted for the pubic to see.
We thank Senator Chafin for his Item 136 #11s and Delegate Plum
for Item 136 #28h. These two amendments
would, if adopted, provide the state share of a 6% salary increase for SOQ
instructional and support positions. The
cost is $241,114,902.
Senators who are not on the Finance Committee will present their
amendments this afternoon. It is not yet clear when House members will present
their amendments.
The budget amendments a legislator submits are sometimes
reflective of their priorities. You may
wish to take the time to check out the amendments submitted by your Delegate
and your Senator.

Senator Favola’s seclusion and restraint bill, SB782, reported from the Senate Education and Health Committee. This bill is on the fast track, and we are
going to have to be very vigilant as the resulting regulations are developed by
the Board of Education.
