State Representative Roger Erickson (DFL – Baudette) voted in favor of the legislation. The bill sets the ambitious goal of closing the achievement gap, reaching the nation’s highest high school graduation rate, 100 percent literacy by third grade, and 100 percent career and college readiness by graduation — all by 2027. The Omnibus E-12 Education Finance and Policy Bill fully funds a...

Despite the $150 million in reductions in the bill, nursing homes and long-term care givers will receive their first funding increase in over fou...

The Minnesota House decided Tuesday to pay for free all-day kindergarten statewide, to make early-childhood education programs more affordable and to pump more money into K-12 classrooms — the promised goodies from tax hikes the DFL majority is expected to take up later this week....
Let’s all think hard about what is truly behind the probable demise of the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments. The MCAs are the key assessment component of the system of accountability that has governed our public schools for the last decade. Each April, MCAs in math and reading are given for grades three through eight. The results are reported to students and their families, but are not as a rule used to determine whether a child moves to the next grade level. At the high school level, two a...

But instead of taking aim at storefront payday lenders, the banking authorities are focusing on the small operations’ big bank rivals, like Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank, according to several people briefed on the matter....

A recent post on the High Country News website advocates the position that the Navajo Nation should eventually drop its 2005 uranium ban so that it can get a better deal on uranium development, which the author, Jonathan Thompson, sees as inevitable.
