I have 24 hours to advocate for this bill, out of 48 total.

---------------------------------------------------

I'm introducing this bill so I can say I did something because I think our students deserve the best teachers we can give them. I think that our Secretary of Education, Mr. Secretary O. Education, will help provide the best possible education for our children and will make sure we gain and keep the best teachers and the best curriculum we can offer.

Questions? Comments? Does this already exist? This seemed like a good idea at the time, but I await your glorious feedback.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Two questions:

1. What will the test comprise of?
2. Will the Secretary of education be a poster? because if so I'm not sure we have the citizens to support it.

1. Well, the test will be written and administered by the Board. They'll come up with it and do that.
2. They might be. We did have a few Cabinet officers a while back, but not anymore.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

1. Um...no. I don't really care about the specifics of the composition of the board that much,just what it does.

2. Sure, why not? Are you officially proposing that as an amendment? If yes, it's friendly.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

All right, then. Current text:

Education Act

1. The Northeast Secretary of Education shall create a regional Board of Education, composed of Northeast citizens chosen by the Secretary, over which they will preside and set the rules of its governing.

2. All persons attempting to procure teaching licenses in the Northeast must pass a standardized test written by the Board.

3. The Board shall have jurisdiction over all K-12 education policy and teacher benefits, including but not limited to: curricula, standards, benefits, pay, and tenure.

4. The Board shall distribute the educational funding allotted in the Northeast Budget as it sees fit.

5. A majority of board members will have been certified to teach in the Northeast Region AND have taught full-time for at least five out of the last ten years.

Could you make that a bit more amendmenty? There's a bit of a blur between the legalization and your speculation about the thing.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Also, wouldn't that sort of be included in that other bill you proposed?

Meanwhile, in my mind, I'm requesting and granting a 24 hour extension of debate time.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Bore's amendment is friendly. I've decided that Jersey's is hostile because The Law is a solid, unwavering construct with now time for this silly "should" or "IMHO" stuff.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Requesting and granting a 24 hour extension of debate time.

Representatives will now vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain on Jerseyrules' amendment. Voting will last for 24 hours or until all members have voted.

-----------------------

Nay.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

The amendment fails, 0-3.

Do you guys think this is ready to be voted on, or do we have more to debate?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Well, then, I'm abridging debate time to now.

Representatives will vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain on the final text. Voting will last for 24 hours or until all members have voted.
