The Education Interim Committee (EDIC) will hold a remote meeting the morning of August 20, 2020, from 9 AM to approximately noon as the committee moves towards wrapping up its interim work.

After hearing MUS and K-12 reopening updates, the committee will explore several topics, including:

• possible findings and recommendation for its study of student well-being and HJ 56;
• bill drafts to authorize Handle With Care programs and eliminate reduced-price school meal co-pays; and
• a bill draft authorizing state-funding for a voluntary pre-kindergarten program for 4-year-olds.

The meeting will be live streamed at http://leg.mt.gov and will be broadcast on the Montana Public Affairs Network (MPAN).
