Kline: Pressure On To Reach Bipartisan Agreement On Education Legislation

Alyson Klein writes at the Education Week (11/8, Klein) "Politics K-12" blog that since the GOP retained its majority in the House, John Kline, chairman of the House Education and the Workforce, will keep his leadership of the panel, and relates an interview with him on the prospects for "bipartisanship on K-12 and other issues." She quotes him saying, "I think both sides will probably still stick to principles. I certainly expect that to be the case on our side of the aisle." He also said that House Speaker John Boehner said that Republicans "would be willing to work with anyone who was willing to reach out to us. ... There is pressure to get stuff done, and maybe that pressure will help us come together."
