Working Knowledge of MN School Funding

Last week I attended the following, and I whole heartedly agree that the LAC Education Forum was very successful and informative !!!!!

At first I thought Tim was talking too fast and that we would be done in no time. Amazingly he had enough content to fill up over an hour with interesting information. Approximately 40 people attended including 4 State politicians and quite a few board members / board member candidates from several school districts. Along with yours truly and many other interested citizens. Thanks again to the LAC members for setting it up !!!

"The Robbinsdale Area Schools' Legislative Action Coalition (LAC) hosted an event entitled, "A Working Knowledge of Education Funding is Possible!" Tim Strom, from the nonpartisan Minnesota House of Representatives Research Department and one of the most knowledgeable K-12 education finance experts in the state of Minnesota, was the presenter."

Great video. I was planning on being there but we are in the midst of the flu running through the house and it is just taking us all down.
