The @mnhouseDFL carried a proposal for a presumptive ban on Native mascots last year. The @mnsrc would have none of it. This isn't new or hard. Native people are not mascots. Pew Trust: Heading Tribal Leaders, States Ban Native Mascots https://t.co/E2ZRXFXP5d #mnleg

Of the 55 Minnesota school districts asking for local taxpayer funding for day-to-day operating costs, three out of four got approval. That’s far above last year’s 51 percent passage rate.

Big election for some MN schools yesterday. If you missed Cathy's show, I'll have more on ATC tonight. Operating levies had ~a 76 % passage rate - far above last year's 51 % rate. Bonds/capital projects didn’t fare quite as well ~59 percent passage rate (better than 55% average)

Through public education, we can reclaim the narrative and promote a shared understanding of Tribal Nations’ rightful place in the family of American governments. Follow along all of November for #NAHM2021 updates!

The Minnesota House DFL carried a presumptive ban on Native American mascots into K12 negotiations; the Senate refused. Colorado found agreement. Denver Post: Colorado schools have
11 months to remove American Indian mascots - and that can be expensive. https://t.co/lZFx5Bhs94

As we emerge from this turbulent school year, we need to focus on the mental health of educators and school leaders, too. "Well-being is a prerequisite for teaching." #mnleg #edmnvotes #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Thank you school nurses for the critical role you play in keeping students healthy!

[Minnesota Department of Education @MnDeptEd]

School nurses are essential to keep our school communities healthy, especially during the pandemic. @GovTimWalz has proclaimed today as School Nurse Day in Minnesota to honor and celebrate the important service of our school nurses.

The Minnesota House passed this on a bipartisan basis. We can expand summer opportunities for kids across the state to learn, explore, and connect.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

I’m calling on the Legislature to pass our summer learning plan. We need to ensure that our students catch up on learning after a challenging year in and out of the classroom.
