Oh, all right.  Thank you, Napoleon.

Executive Order #10

I hereby order the closing of the Northeast Budget & Tax Committee.

[Napoleon]

I realized that in the debate on that, though. Why in the world does a two week committee still exist almost a year later?

We used it to write the last couple budgets, but obviously it's no longer needed.

SECTION 7. SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

1.   All schools below college shall be required to be open to students for at least 190 days per year for at least eight hours a day, for no more than thirteen years, with the exception of grade retentions.  Two hours each day must be reserved to study hall periods and recess, which shall be required in all schools.

2.   All students will be entitled to health care (including mental health) and daily lunch.  If a student is of an income level below $25,000, their lunches shall be at no cost.

3.   All classes must have 20 or fewer students to create an optimal learning environment, save for Physical Education and Study Halls. If this is not possible in a school, it must make an effort to hire new teachers until there are enough for the maximum class size to be 20 students.

SECTION 8. NORTHEAST MATRICULATION EXAM

The annual standardized test, which shall be the only government-prescribed test in the Northeast Region, shall be named the Northeast Matriculation Exam (or the NME), and will be assigned to all high school students in the middle of their senior years.  Questions in this test (which must pertain to: math, science, English, and social studies) will be determined by the Department of Education.

SECTION 9. FUNDING

All necessary funding for this bill shall come from the School aid fund of each budget.  An additional $20.5 billion from the surplus of the March-July Northeast Budget FY2013 will be used for implementation of these policies.

SECTION 10. IMPLEMENTATION

This law shall go into effect at the start of the 2014 school year.

Has the governor taken action on the SOAP bill yet?

[Blackacre]

SOAP bills don't get signed by the Governor. They immediately go into effect once passed.

Statement: It is a great honor for me today to sign this bill.  This legislation has been in the making for a long time, and it is one of the most important education bills in decades.  This is the first piece of comprehensive legislation aimed at improving the education of students by reforming our system so that it is not "one size fits all," not "competition over equality," but equal opportunity for all.  It ends standardized testing as we know it, it ends "drill, kill, bubble, fill," and it instills accountability and trust in those we depend on every day: teachers.  This bill will not be the last piece of education reform we will ever see, but it is a step in the right direction.  Many have had a role in this process, and I would especially like to thank Lieutenant Governor and Speaker Spenstar, Representative Snowball, Representative Sirnick, and Senator Napoleon for making this moment possible.

[Blackacre]

Congratulations on this accomplishment, Governor, and thank you for the shout-out.

[Northeast Rep Snowball]

SECTION 3. CONVENTION FACILITIES

1. Convention facilities will be permitted to remain under the ownership of the Northeast and future projects shall remain lawful.
