Giving schoolchildren nutritional supplements to boost academic performance. Detoxifying alternative high school students through exercise in saunas. Teaching study skills to struggling students under a program created by L. Ron Hubbard, whose philosophies founded the Church of Scientology. Some lawmakers think these could be good ways to improve public schools. The Education Interim Committee last winter gave its blessing to those and other academically geared proposals forwarded by the group Innovations in Education as part of a bidding process to improve public schools. The Legislature this spring redirected $1 million in hopes state school leaders would implement the proposal, though there's some question whether the unconventional parts would be included. Gov. Olene Walker vetoed the item. But the proposal lives on.
