REP. JIM DAVNIE APPOINTED TO EDUCATION COMMISSION OF THE STATES
(ST. PAUL) — State Representative Jim Davnie (DFL – Minneapolis) was appointed today by Governor Dayton to the Education Commission of the States. Rep. Davnie was appointed by Governor Dayton to serve on the commission that consists of members from 49 states and the District of Columbia.
“I’m looking forward to rich and challenging conversations with my fellow commission members," Rep. Davnie said. “Providing our students with a high-quality education is key to the future prosperity of our state and nation.”
The Education Commission of the States is a nonpartisan organization that brings key leaders — governors, legislators, higher education officials, state school officers, business leaders and others — together to work on education issues. The commission conducts policy research and analysis, tracks trends, provides advice, and helps facilitate education information and policy discussion across the country.
The commission is scheduled to meet for its national forum in July. Rep. Davnie is joined on the commission by Higher Education Commissioner Sheila Wright, K-12 Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius, state Senator Charles Wiger (DFL – Maplewood), state Sen. Gen Olson (R – Minnestrista), chair of the Senate Education Committee, and state Rep. Pat Garofalo, chair of the House Education Reform Committee.
