HB 1489 is anti-teacher, anti-public school, and a threat to vulnerable children, and, unbelievably, it is likely to come up for debate in the Judiciary B committee this afternoon.
The bill would require crushing amounts of paperwork for educators, subject public school teachers to lawsuits, and further endanger the thousands of vulnerable children who are safer at school than they are at home. You can read the bill here.
