Underfunding negatively impacts the services we provide for our multilingual learners. It is imperative to do better in this regard! @MPRnews @MSVoices #schoolfunding

Serious serious public service journalism in this 2nd @SWV_Melissa @MSVoices school funding analysis. Some MN districts have *more* money than they need to provide an adequate education, while others are underfunded.

"Did you know that Minnesota welcomed over 10,000 refugees and nearly 5,000 secondary migrants in the past decade, contributing to the state's cultural richness? Let's also recognize the need to multilingual spaces in our educational institutions #newcomers #education #Minnesota"

"Multilingualism is on the rise in the US, with over 20% of the population speaking a language other than English at home. As our society becomes more diverse, embracing linguistic diversity is key to promoting inclusion and understanding. #multilingualism #inclusion #diversity

Multilingualism in Minnesota is a truth that many have tried to erase for decades with English-only assimilation approaches at schools and workplaces. #schoolreform @multilinguism #stateofminnesota #educationminnesota #blackhistorymonth2023

Despite this reality, the leading educational institutions adopt monolingual practices for instruction. It is time for a change! #mndepartmentofeducation #multilingual #educationalreform #change #multilingualmn
