    Nov 20, 2017

    Nov 20, 2017

  • Peterson Statement on the Republican Tax Bill

    Nov 20, 2017

    WASHINGTON – Congressman Collin C. Peterson made the following statement after House passage of the Republican tax bill. “I support making the corporate tax rate more competitive internationally and simplifying our system. However, eliminating a number of provisions like those that help families who have large medical bills due to cancer or Alzheimer’s, or those that help people struggling to pay off their student loans in order to pay for the corporate reduction is not fair and not needed given we end up with a large increase in the national d...

  • Abused, ignored across Minnesota

    Nov 20, 2017

    For weeks before her death, Jean Krause lay in her bed at a northern Minnesota senior home, staring mutely at the walls. Even when her children arrived with flowers or her favorite dessert, she did not respond.

McCoy was...

    Nov 20, 2017

    The top education official in Kansas on Tuesday proposed allowing more schools to hire educators who don’t qualify for teaching licenses under the state’s current system — and signaled he would support changes to state regulations if needed. The proposal could meet with resistance from the state’s main teachers union and educators who opposed similar changes to licensure requirements in recent years that they viewed as lowering professional standards. But it could also find support among school administrators seeking more flexibility to recr...

  • Supreme Court case could reshape teacher tenure

    Nov 20, 2017

    ST. PAUL — A pair of cases before the Minnesota Supreme Court could spark big shifts in schools across the state. The court has agreed to hear a case challenging teacher tenure laws that a group of Minnesota parents brought against the state and several school districts last year. The parents claim tenure protections make it too hard to fire ineffective teachers and worsen the achievement gap. http://www.postbulletin.com/news/education/supreme-court-case-could-reshape-teacher-tenure/article_c71cb557-7bd3-5c58-97bd-8b1a54e1fb...
