Tuesday, January 23, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Upper Valley Senior Center of Lebanon, 10 Campbell St, Lebanon
We are launching our 2018 Upper Valley Lecture Series on Tuesday, January 23, 2018 with a roundtable of House Representatives who will outline current pending Education legislation.
The presenter is Representative Douglas Ley, D-Cheshire, current president of the American Federation of Teachers in New Hampshire. He will be joined by the following members of the House:
- Mary Heath, D-Manchester, Former Deputy Commissioner, N.H. Department of Education; Retired Dean, Southern New Hampshire University’s School of Education
- Brian Sullivan, D- Sullivan, member-elect, recently retired from the National Education Association of New Hampshire
- Linda Tanner, D-Sullivan, retired Department Chair for Health and Physical Education, Kearsarge Regional School District
Please note change from MONDAY night to TUESDAY night. UVDemocrats usually meet on Monday, but our speaker, Representative Doug Ley, has a Monday commitment—therefore the program has been moved to TUESDAY.
‘The committee vote on Tuesday improves the bill’s chances for passage, but it still has a long way to go before becoming law.
‘The full House will take up the bill when it reconvenes in January, with an “ought-to-pass” recommendation from the Education Committee. If the House passes the bill, it will then go to the House Finance Committee, because of the dollars involved.
‘Ultimately, the Senate would have to agree to the many changes in the bill made by the House, or the two chambers would have to agree on a common version of the bill before it goes to Sununu for his signature.’
