    Assemblyman Scott Wilk Pens Legislation To Freeze Tuition

    Local Assemblyman Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, has co-authored a bill proposing to freeze tuition for all students in public colleges and universities.

    If passed, Assembly Bill 67 would last seven years, in conjunction with how long Californians will be taxed because of Proposition 30.

    “It’s only fair to the taxpayers, and is a way to hold Sacramento accountable,” Wilk said.

    Correction: Santa Clarita's Reaction To StudentsFirst Report Card On Education

    Correction: The article orginally stated some misinformation about StudentsFirst and the organizations head, Michelle Rhee. 

    California is one of 11 states to recently receive an overall grade of F in a StudentsFirst report card evaluating education.

    The StudentsFirst report repeatedly emphasized using students test scores to evaluate teachers and decide how much funding schools would receive, but did not consider student test scores in the report. Instead the report focused on how states evaluate teachers, empower parents and allocate funding.

    Each grade included a slew of suggestions regarding funding, how teachers are evaluated and increasing the number of charter schools.
