Chairman Harrington and Chairman Williams addressed the committee with general 
remarks concerning their hopes for a cooperative, successful session.  Chairman 
Williams noted that many bills heard by the Committee involve financial items dealt 
with by Ways and Means and that the Education Committee deals with issues of 
setting policy in Education.

The Committee discussed the Standing Rules of the Education Committee
(Exhibit C). Item 12 of the Standing Rules regarding who will conduct the meetings 
in the absence of the Presiding Chair was discussed extensively.  The consensus 
of the committee was that language of Item 12 should be changed to read:
"In the absence of the Presiding Chairman, the Presiding Vice-Chairman shall 
conduct the meetings of the Committee."

ASSEMBLYMAN BENNETT MOVED THAT THE STANDING RULES
OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE BE ACCEPTED WITH THE AMENDED 
LANGUAGE.

ASSEMBLYMAN DE BRAGA SECONDED THE MOTION.

THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

H. Pepper Sturm, Chief Principal Research Analyst from the Legislative Counsel 
Bureau presented an Issue Brief on Education for the 1995 Legislature,  (Exhibit D) 
which provided background information, anticipated issues, other 
Legislative/Executive branch proposals, and issues in other states.  Mr. Sturm also 
handed out and referred to the Study of Public Elementary and Secondary 
Education, January, 1995, (Exhibit E).  Mr. Sturm indicated that the study 
committee was asked to examine the policy structure and the fiscal structure of the 
Nevada System of Public Education.  He noted that just about anything anyone 
needed to know to understand these structures is contained within this document 
and is an excellent reference source.  

Assemblyman Manendo thanked Mr. Sturm for his work and indicated how helpful 
the Issue Brief is to the freshman assemblyman.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:10 p.m.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
