Victoria Bush has been teaching art at the Cody Elementary Schools for three years. I ve got one kiddo that, you know, he does struggle academically, but he s got kind of like a spunk, she said.
Bush said the student always wants to do the assignment his own way. And I think that maybe it can be tough in the classroom. But I think within art that s exactly what you re looking for.
She said he s so creative and really comes out of his shell when he s creating art in her classroom. It s amazing to see a kid that does struggle maybe in other classrooms and other settings really feel proud of something that he s doing, and really be a leader in the classroom, whereas maybe that s not an opportunity that he would get otherwise, said Bush.

A Wyoming legislative committee continues to work on a bill that would reduce spending on K-12 education.
The House education committee continues to reduce the proposed cut of $100 million. After several amendments, the proposed cut is down to roughly $22 million.
The majority of the committee also committed to trying to find tax revenue to make up the $300 million shortfall in education revenue. Casper Rep. Jerry Obermueller tried to amend the bill in favor of no cuts.
He noted that during a recent hearing, nobody testified in favor of education cuts and he said the focus should be on finding revenue to pay for education. He also noted that the legislature is still putting money into reserve accounts.
god forbid. listen, i got to ask you. you know what has been frustrating i m glad bob is okay by the way. it wasn t him, but go ahead. to watch some of the framing of this as both sides saying now, this is just an honest assessment. i think it s a right assessment. there was negotiating before the deal that the senate made and they voted on. they negotiated. the democrats negotiated with the republicans, right? and they thought they had a deal with the president. the president is the one who came in and said, no, no deal. i m going to shut it down. i don t think it should be framed as a both sides thing. i watched that. the president needs to come to some sort of consensus about what he s going to do to negotiate. sure. 100%. look, i did a little homework because i talked to steny hoyer earlier, and he mentioned the big shutdown back in the day with gingrich. you know, they didn t have one for 17 years after that because of the bite of the political payback after it, but
off campus in protest to some of these education cuts that are now back in. it seems no matter what, your tax bill s going to look a lot different at the start of next year. every corner of the economy will change. fresh off a big win in alabama, democrats want to put off the vote on tax reform. minority leader chuck schumer insisting that senator-elect doug moore should be involved in the process. he and other leading democrats demanding lawmakers wait until jones is sworn in. this was a referendum. the middle class and suburban middle class people said we want change. and when that happens in alabama, that s happening everywhere in america. it would be wrong for senate republicans to jam through this tax bill without giving the newly elected senator from alabama the opportunity to cast his vote. what s the rush, what s the hurry? we don t have a crisis on our hands, the market s stronger than ever. we don t have double-digit
military right now? can t you answer that? he didn t feel like it was necessary to hold that decision and will work with the department of defense lawfully to implement it. reporter: you said earlier the president was frustrating, is that frustration in the past and does he have confidence in jeff sessions? he wants to focus on the duties of the attorney general and i don t have anything else to add. reporter: the president is donating part of his salary to education wisely having millions and millions of dollars in education cuts? he simply have a government
