HOUSE PASSES COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION BILL
Assistant Majority Leader Tina Liebling issued the following statement in response to passage of the House E-12 Education Omnibus Finance Bill. The bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan support on a vote of 119 to 13.
"This is by far the most comprehensive, fair and balanced education bill that the House has crafted in years. It provides the resources our schools need to give our students a world-class education."
"Rochester Schools will benefit from an additional $11 and a half million over the course of the next two years, an increase of 8.3%, and property owners will benefit from the property tax relief in the bill. This is a winning combination for our community."
"Minnesotans place a high value and take enormous pride in our great schools and quality educational system. As the world continues to change, our students will be challenged as never before. With its focus on rigor, and greater attention to innovation and accountability, this bill takes great strides to ensure our children can succeed in a globally competitive world."
