School funding takes center-stage

One of Education Minnesota's primary goals is to ensure that we have equitable, sustainable, predictable, and sufficient school funding. We believe this is vital to the continued success of our schools. Our goal is to see real funding reform in Minnesota to give every child a chance at a quality public education.

And in these tough economic times, education is the investment that can get our economy working again.

Our lawmakers can fix these problems permanently. But they need to hear from you. They need your encouragement to make school funding a priority. Select this link to find your legislators and send them a message via e-mail.

We've been traveling throughout the state of Minnesota listening to educators, students, parents and community members to get their perspectives on how school funding affects them. You can hear their comments for yourself by clicking here.
