Today we started off the day attending the State Board of Education meeting where they discussed various proposals for programs regarding charter school in the state. They listened to people’s various proposals and then the Board asked them a series of questions, mostly regarding funding.
After that we waited outside a Senate committee session to meet with one fo the Senators to discuss a budget adjustment that we would like regarding one of our clients. When legislative officials are super busy the only way to get a hold of them immediately is to catch them between meetings and just talk to them as they walk to their next meeting.
Then we ended the day with one more meeting with a group of people regarding a an environmental bill that we would like changed. We met with them to negotiate changes in wording and things we would like to add to protect our client and serve their desires.
