The Saland Record: Decades of
Experience |
EDUCATION AND LIBRARIES
As Chairman of the Senate
Education Committee, Senator Saland has
made it his priority to enhance the
quality and the safety of our public
schools. Senator Saland has secured
approximately $24,190,541 in additional
grants for our local schools and
libraries. This money has helped
school districts fund such things as
much needed technology improvements and
defibrillators without having to burden
the local taxpayer.
Throughout his career, Senator Saland
has placed children first. Among his
chief priorities as the former Chairman
of the Senate Children and Families
Committee, Senator Saland worked to make
sure that all prospective school
employees are fingerprinted and that a
background check is scrutinized before
an individual is allowed to work with
our children.
Senator Saland looks out for our
children and taxpayers. Senator Saland
sponsored the School Accountability law
which enhances auditing mechanisms on
school district finances and mandates
fiduciary training of school board
members. In addition, Senator Saland
continues to fight for mandate relief
for school districts. Not only does
Senator Saland sponsor legislation which
significantly reduces costly and
burdensome mandates on schools but he's
also made it his practice to reject
bills that pose any unfunded mandates on
schools.
