ST. PAUL — Arthur Roger Franzen was not overly impressed with his ornate, and newly renovated, surroundings. Sen. Melisa Franzen of Edina held her son, born Dec. 28, in her left hand while she rose her right hand Tuesday, Jan. 3, to be sworn in to her second Minnesota Senate term. Arthur Roger slept through the ceremony as the senator was one of 200 state lawmakers to take the same oath (the 201st one will be picked in a special election next month). The 2017 legislative session kicked off with more pageantry and routine business than s...
ST. PAUL -- Minnesota let out a sigh of relief Tuesday, Jan. 3, after a federal appeals court decided a lower court erred in tossing out a state law that put some of the worst sex offenders in prison-like facilities after they complete their sentences. Had the original ruling stood, the state would have scrambled to release many of the 700 sex offenders now confined in state hospitals. The ruling basically returns state law as it was before the Twin Cities-based federal judge declared it unconstitutional. "One of the problems we have is we...

The odds are good that privatizing education will be part of the agenda for President-elect Donald J. Trump’s administration. The Republican platform calls for increasing the role of banks in giving out student loans. And Mr. Trump and the platform advocate an expansion of both vouchers, which enable students to attend the private school of their choice with government funds, and charter schools. In addition, Betsy DeVos, Mr. Trump’s nominee for education secretary, has supported legislation that would establish vouchers in Michigan, as wel...
A cyberbullying researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire said he's seeing an increase in the number of high school students being bullied because their race or skin color than in past years. Justin Patchin, a criminal justice professor at UW-Eau Claire, said for the last three years he and a colleague have talked to thousands of middle and high school students about bullying in school and online. This summer and fall nearly 6,000 students were surveyed nationwide and a new trend has emerged. "If we look at the 2013 data, about 12...
Lawmakers face the most daunting task on education policy this coming year they can possibly tackle: writing a new school finance formula while responding to a high court order that will likely require additional funding. Kansas has been building up to this moment for years through court rulings and legislative fights, and now it is here. The Legislature repealed the state’s school finance formula in 2015 and replaced it with a temporary, two-year block grant system. Time is ticking on the block grants’ expiration. http://cj...
WASHINGTON — When Michelle Obama helps recognize the school counselor of the year later this week, it will also mark her final White House event as first lady, aides said Tuesday. Mrs. Obama has presided over a White House ceremony each January since 2015 honoring school counselors, who she says are often the “deciding factor” in whether a student attends college. She joked last year that Friday’s ceremony might be one of the last White House events “before they kick us out in January of 2017.” President Barack Obama’s term ends at noon on Ja...
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Mississippi lawmakers are considering a measure that would let school boards appoint replacements for elected school superintendents who resign in the next three years. In 2016, the Legislature enacted a law making all 55 elected superintendents appointed beginning in 2020. Webster County Superintendent Jack Treloar, who was elected, resigned Dec. 31. House Education Committee Chairman John Moore, a Brandon Republican, says it would cost the county $60,000 to elect a school chief to serve only part of a term....
Drivers hit and killed more pedestrians in Minnesota last year than any other year in the past quarter century, according to a preliminary total released Tuesday. The Department of Public Safety said 60 pedestrians died on Minnesota roads in 2016, 19 more than the previous year. The last time that many pedestrians died was in 1991, when the figure reached 61. Determining the cause of the spike is challenging, but state officials noted this fall that distracted driving crashes appeared to be on the rise. Police in some cities, like St. Paul,...
The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota revoked MyPillow Inc.’s accreditation, citing a battle to persuade the Chaska-based manufacturer to stop a lengthy “buy-one-get-one-free” promotion. The bureau also lowered its rating on MyPillow from an A+ to an F. The consumer rights outfit said it pressed MyPillow since last August to end the marketing ploy, referred to by the acronym BOGO. “Continuous BOGO offers, which can then be construed as an item’s regular, everyday price, violate not only BBB’s Code of Advertising, which all B...
The Dakota Access oil pipeline protesters who swung from the heights of U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday had tickets to the Vikings-Bears game and carried their gear into the building hidden under winter clothes.
