A few minutes out of your day could make a big impact on the fate of education funding …
Monday, May 6, is the deadline for the governor, House and Senate to agree on budget targets. Currently, they are $700 million apart with the education budget. This target directly impacts your local budget. In order to provide 3% and 2% increase both years this budget target needs to be $521 million.
Governor Walz and the House have met this target.
The Senate target is $206 million, which only provides a 0.5% and 0.5% increase on the general education formula, which puts every school district in the position of cutting budgets.
Where will the Senate budget leave your district?
Will you have to cut staff?
Will class sizes increase?
MSBA needs you to contact
Senate Majority Leader Gazelka
and urge him to increase his education target to $522 million to fund 3% and 2% on the general education formula.
