Lawmakers map a broad education and tax reform agenda

They warn against overreach by state boards, push for property tax relief, and seek stronger local control while addressing welfare, equity, and accountability in schooling. The session is described as sedated due to elections, with focus on funding, governance, and reform across districts.
