The House Education Committee votes on Tuesday, February 21st on CACR 8 which restores the “exclusive” right of the people to control their schools without State interference.<\/strong> CACR 8 also allows the State legislature to supplement the educational provisions made by the towns and cities, resolving the Claremont crisis.<\/p>\n

On November 2, 2011 CACR 8 was voted OTP (10-5) by the House Education Committee. Ten Republicans on the Committee voted in favor of the amendment; five Democrats voted against the proposal. Please remind the Republicans to stand firm once again on principle and vote to pass CACR 8; ask the Democrats to restore local control of schools because allowing parents to have a greater voice in their child’s education is he best way to improve our schools.<\/p>\n

On January 5, 2012 the House voted 219 to 127 to pass CACR 8. That was 20 votes short of the 3\/5 threshold needed to pass a constitutional amendment. 239 votes were needed. However, right now we need to get CACR 8 out of the Committee with a favorable recommendation…. so the House can have another chance to vote on it.<\/p>\n

Please ask the House Education Committee to pass CACR 8 with one of two amendments submitted to the Committee by Rep. Seth Cohn and Rep. Paul Ingbretson. <\/strong> The first amendment makes a minor change; the second makes the same minor change but also stream-lines the article making it easier for the voter to read and hopefully avoids any further misunderstanding by the Court.<\/p>\n

Either amendment submitted by Rep. Cohn and Ingbretson resolves the problem cited on the House floor during the January 5th floor debate.<\/p>\n

CACR 8 is the anti-dote to CACR 12 which proposes to:<\/p>\n

\t– centralize control over education,
\n\t– destroy the autonomy of the cities and towns,
\n\t– do an end-run around local spending caps as well as Art. 28-a, the constitutional prohibition against unfunded state mandates,
\n\t– pave the way for a state income tax to ease the burden on businesses and donor towns,
\n\t– eliminate local control over schools, which is our constitutional right under Art. 6.<\/p>\n
