Priorities
Education
This year we worked hard to ensure that the state's budget plan was not disproportionately aimed at Minneapolis Public Schools. While we were successful in avoiding deep cuts to classrooms, many schools are still struggling with shortfalls - much of those stemming from last year's decisions. Keeping our schools strong means:
|
Protecting Early Childhood and Family Education and other early education programs that help thousands of Minneapolis families every year.
|
|
|
Preventing House Republicans from raiding funds from Minneapolis schools with high-numbers of low-income students.
|
|
|
Fighting to prevent deeper cuts to all public schools in the city.
|
|
|
Preventing higher education cuts that will force double-digit tuition increases to students at public colleges and universities.
