Senate DFL Leader Lopez Franzen and Senator Wiger say Senate Education Bill is an Insult to Minnesota’s Students, Parents, and School Staff
With a historic opportunity to address long unmet needs and the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on our students, parents, and school staff, Senate Republicans failed to deliver for the state’s schools by passing a supplemental budget bill that falls embarrassingly short. Despite a $9.25 billion budget surplus, the Republican majority advanced a final bill that spends a paltry $30.7 million on a vote of 37-29.
