The Joint Committee on Student Success was formed in January of 2018 to study the education system and create better outcomes for students. The committee met four times during the 2018 session and conducted nine tours through every region of the state, where it met with students, teachers, administrators, school employees, school board members, parents, business leaders, and other stakeholders.
Following this outreach done in the summer and fall of 2018, the committee reconvened in the 2019 legislative session. They were first separated into 3 subcommittees:
I was placed on the subcommittee of Accountability and Transparency, whose goal was to find better ways to hold schools accountable. One of the biggest pushes that this subcommittee has made is to include communities on decisions.
On March 12, the three subcommittees reconvened to share our ideas and conclusions, and to decide which ideas are going to take priority in funding.
