It was moved by Mike Thomas and seconded by Bob Thomas to approve the 2020 Legislative Priorities: 
#3 PRESCHOOL:  Supports continued funding to ensure that all 4-year-olds have access to the Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program.  Supports an increase in funding from the current weighting of 0.5 to 1.0 full-time equivalent to increase the ability of districts to provide services such as full-day programming and transportation to ensure that all 4-year-olds have the ability to attend the Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program.  Districts should be given maximum flexibility to assign costs to the program. 
 	#7 MENTAL HEALTH:  Supports efforts to establish comprehensive community mental health systems to offer preventative and treatment services and comprehensive school mental health programs that include in-school access for students to mental health professionals and provisions for reimbursement by Medicaid and private insurers.  Supports additional ongoing teacher, administrator, and support staff training to improve the awareness and understanding of child emotional and mental health needs.  Supports incentives for workforce development for mental health professionals in schools. 
#20 SUPPLEMENTAL STATE AID: Supports setting supplemental state aid: 
•	For FY2020, by January 31, 2019; 
•	For FY2021 and future budget years, at least 14 months prior to the certification of the school’s district budgets; and 
•	At a rate that sufficiently supports local districts’ efforts to plan, create and sustain world-class schools. 
Setting supplemental state aid within the statutory requirements allows districts to make sound financial decisions on programs, staffing levels, and providing the best possible education to all students.

Educational options must remain under the sole authority of locally elected school boards families.

•	Investment in magnet and innovation schools’ expansion in flexible program offerings; and greater partnerships among schools and community organizations 
•	Establishment of charter schools; 
•	Establishment or use of on-line schools or classes
