Introduced by Rep. Jacob Hoogendyk, Jr. (R) on May 29, 2007, to require at least 65 percent of all public school operations budgets to be spent on instruction (rather than administration). “Instruction” is broadly defined, using a U.S. Department of Education standard. The governor could waive the requirement for a particular school district.
- Referred to the House Education Committee on May 29, 2007.

It belongs in the legislative trash bin.

This bill is not needed. Check out the budget and you will see that this is already being done.
