Purpose Statement


Ad mo ne o - Latin, verb. To admonish, advise, urge.

Here you'll find a review of what's happening in Utah government - state, counties, school boards, & cities, with a focus on education - as well as what Utah's U.S. Congressmen and Senators are doing. You'll get my take on it, find links to other sources of information, and find suggestions and contact info so you can DO something. Being involved in local government is key to maintaining freedom. Find something you can do and, no matter how small, DO IT! As British philosopher Edmund Burke said, "No man made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."

Second Hearing on "Chronic Absenteeism"

The House Education Committee will hold a second hearing on HB 151, "Chronic Absenteeism Amendments," on March 1st at 4:00. If you emailed the members of the Committee before, please do it again. If you didn't email before, please do it NOW!

 If you don't understand why adding the category of "chronic absenteeism" to schools' AYP reporting requirements is a bad thing, read my post about it: Absenteeism: When Is It Actually a Problem? Here is the post with my follow-up thoughts after yesterday's hearing: HB 151 - "Chronic Absenteeism" Bill - Held in Committee.
