Rep. Andy Story presents HB 28, a teacher loan‑repayment pilot and K–12 funding package

Representative Andy Story introduced HB 28, combining a three‑year student loan repayment pilot for teachers (up to $5,000 per year, funded at $1 million annually) with one‑time energy relief ($~43.9M), a 10% transportation funding increase and reading proficiency grants; university and district leaders supported the bill and the committee reviewed fiscal notes before setting the bill aside.
