Early learning experts called in by GOP, Dayton for pre-K discussions

House Republicans and Gov. Mark Dayton each called in academic heavyweights to make their cases as negotiations over how Minnesota should deliver preschool instruction continued Thursday.

Art Rolnick, formerly a senior vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis who has studied the benefits of early-childhood education, is standing with GOP leaders as they press for more funding for early learning scholarships. Rolnick and House Speaker Kurt Daudt touted the benefits of scholarships during a visit to a St. Paul day-care center Thursday.

Dayton, meanwhile, tapped Arthur Reynolds, a University of Minnesota professor in early childhood development, to join him, Daudt and other education officials during budget talks.
