Several of the bills being pre-filed in #waleg are repeats of previous sessions. 

SB 5007 is a Braun/Wellman bill addressing absenteeism in government schools. The same concerns as when the bill was SB 5850 in 2024 session. 

Government schools need not be one-stop-shopping for providing for children. That is the parent's job and perhaps the government should work on keeping more money in the parent's pocket so they can provide for their children. 

The bill includes grants that would provide food, clothing and "economic supports" for the whole family. 

The bill also calls for "home visits." 

And "celebrations" for students attending school. School is their job. Enough with this soft parenting stuff...it is NOT working. 

Lastly...where is the money coming from to support this? Last I heard the state has a $10-12 billion projected deficit.
