Wasn't Attorney General Shurtleff the one who wanted the State Board of Education to implement the voucher program last summer?

Of course he was. He was exactly correct. Two voucher laws had been passed and signed by the governor. The deadline date for implementation had arrived. Since the referendum idea had not surfaced, it was only logical that the voucher program be properly implemented.

President Valentine may support having only one set of Constitutional search and seizure protections, but he will not be sponsoring the bill. (It would actually need to be a resolution, not a bill, because the change would require a constitutional amendment.) Typically, the Senate President does not sponsor legislation.
