Representative asks higher‑ed commissioner for records on Lumina Foundation grant

During schedule consideration on April 15, Representative Amadee asked Doctor Kim Hunter Reed (a higher education official asked to testify) to provide information about a Lumina Foundation grant listed in the executive budget. Amadee requested the grant’s stated purpose, expected outcomes and a record of the grant from 2019 to the present.

Doctor Reed replied that she did not have the materials at the podium but agreed to provide the requested documents later. "Sure, happy to do that," she said when asked to forward the information.

The exchange was brief and concluded with the committee thanking Doctor Reed and returning to schedule consideration. No additional details about the grant purpose or amounts were provided during the hearing; Representative Amadee asked for the historical materials to be sent after the session.
