The Senate Education Committee will deal with two House-passed bills Thursday.

One piece of proposed legislation creates a statewide school voucher program.

The other makes broad changes to job protections for Louisiana public school teachers.

The Senate Education Committee is already on record in support of the measures, having approved similar versions last week.

News 2's Mike Steele will have this story at 4, 5 and 6.
