As a former teacher, I know that our kids’ futures begin in the classroom.
It's their job to keep learning—and it’s our job to support them in any way we can.
By continuing the fight to fully fund our public schools across the state, that’s exactly what we’re working to do.
I never back down from a challenge. Today and every day, I’m proud to stand with Minnesotans in the fight to protect access to reproductive health care and abortion.
If ever there was a time to put a down payment on fully funding our public schools, it is now.
Our students need more support & resources. And Minnesota has the resources to do it. Tell @mnsrc to invest the $9.25B surplus in our schools! https://t.co/kOGyEJwA1s #mnleg#edmnvotes
Remember your WHY today. We don’t get burned out because of what we do. We get burned out because we forget why we do it. You’re here to make a difference and you can right where you are.
PLSEA supports the LGBTQ+ community including staff and students as they face anti-transgender legislation across the U.S. including the “don’t say gay” bill in Florida and numerous other bans surrounding trans people’s access to sports and healthcare. #TogetherWeAlly 🖤🤎❤���🧡💛
States across the country are passing laws that criminalize and endanger transgender and gender diverse students.
Let me be clear: in Minnesota, we uplift, support, and affirm the rights of transgender students. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
YES, @MelisaFranzen!
After two years of pandemic challenges, we now have a chance to help our schools recover by giving them the resources they need -- not by putting more burdens on them in the form of unfunded mandates. #mnleg#edmnvotes
More than half of teachers are thinking about quitting. The GOP's Parents Bill of Rights will only push more of them out.
"Our teachers want things taken OFF their plates this year. They are exhausted! They are done!" Thank you @CwodMN for standing with teachers! #mnleg
Congratulations to PLHS seniors Lauren Marquardt and Ty Sandell on their AAA nomination! The Academics, Arts, & Athletics Award honors high school seniors throughout the state who have a minimum 3.0 GPA & who participate in League-sponsored athletic & fine arts activities.
It has been quite a week for those of us on the ground. Buy your teacher/custodian/bus driver/secretary/food service friend a beer or coffee this weekend.
We can’t shrug off social media threats that look like pranks. Report what you see. Monitor your children’s social media. Discuss proper use. Avoid sharing examples of school threats on social media. They can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety to students, families & staff.
This is a large part of why we don’t have a settled contract in our district. We have to come to the bargaining table and fight for measly increases. It’s why staff are leaving and why young people aren’t going into teaching @PLSEA719@EricPrattMN@RepTonyAlbright
