State Senator Shane Broadway dropped by to discuss the Special Master's report. Where to begin? He disagrees with the report in most areas and thinks they got it wrong factually. In fact he believes there might be further hearings just to clear things up on the school funding formula. Broadway expressed surprise that consolidation was even mentioned in the filing, since it has little prominence in the testimony. He denies that the legislature has grown indifferent on school reform and also thinks that Governor Huckabee was in on the process. What happens next is anybody's guess, but his most interesting comments had to do with the next fertile ground for school litigation. If you guessed a federal court enforcement of the "No Child Left Behind" law, you win the trip around the world Senator Broadway's complete interview is in the free WAI Radio.com "on demand" library (linked in the left column).
