Here's a budget plan for education to help all Minnesota students

Well-educated students are directly tied to Minnesota’s future success. That’s a key reason why the Star Tribune Editorial Board continues to beat the drum for closing the state’s unacceptable achievement gaps. At the beginning of this legislative session, we said lawmakers should focus on proven strategies to meet that goal — including improved instruction, quality preschool, and support services for children and families.

To that end, the Legislature is considering some very different budget proposals for education. At one end of the spectrum, the House GOP would increase education spending by $157 million over the next biennium. Gov. Mark Dayton and House DFLers want an additional $700 million to $800 million over current spending.
