College & Career Readiness Advisory Committee
|
|
I am very excited to be a part of the new College & Career Readiness (CCR) Advisory Committee, formed by Cindy Nolan with Lakeville Area Schools. This committee is a group of parents, business professionals, current and former students and school district representatives. Our goals is to develop and recommend ideas as to how Lakeville Area Schools can continue to enhance what they offer to our Lakeville families to better prepare our students for post-high school life. This information will be filtered up through the CCR Task Force in the district.

Love to sing? Want to connect with others in your community? The Friends of the Lakeville Heritage Library invite you to attend a community sing with Dan Chouinard and Ann Reed on
Tuesday, Feb. 4, at the Lakeville Heritage Library from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m
. Unlike a community chorus or church group, a community sing is about ordinary people joining their friends and neighbors in a public place to sing together, just for the fun of it.

New year, new minimum-wage rates
Minnesota's
minimum-wage rates
were adjusted for inflation Jan. 1 to $10 an hour for large employers and $8.15 an hour for other state minimum wages.
As of Jan. 1:
- Large employers must pay at least $10 an hour when the employer's annual gross revenues are $500,000 or more.
- Small employers must pay at least $8.15 an hour when the employer's annual gross revenues are less than $500,000.
- The training wage rate, $8.15 an hour, may be paid to employees younger than 20 years of age for the first 90 consecutive days of employment.
- The youth wage rate, $8.15 an hour, may be paid to employees younger than 18 years of age.
For 2020, an estimated 206,000 jobs will pay the $10 or $8.15 state minimum-wage rates. These rates will not apply to work performed in the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, which have higher minimum-wage rates.
