Machine malfunction wins: House overturns bill by Dallas senator

UPDATE: Word is, some Republicans have agreed to help bring up the bill for reconsideration and vote for it if it gets amended to remove private schools from having to report their special ed, etc., information to the agency.
Looks like the bill could end up passing after all if this gets worked out. We'll keep you posted.

A bill by Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, would have created the Interagency Council for Addressing Disproportionality to study why children of racial and ethnic minorities are seem to show up in higher numbers in the state's foster care, juvenile justice, special ed and criminal justice systems.
