Senate ends Harris bid for state education board
Senate leaders deem the Education Committee rejection of Maricopa County Schools Superintendent Richard Harris a dead nomination to another term on the State Board of Education. Senate President Jacquin said without committee support the bid cannot be revived, though last hour changes are possible. Harris faced criticism over a district policy handbook and travel expenses for educators to a White Mountains seminar. Ellsworth cast the decisive vote to break a tied committee result.
