ST. PAUL – Rep. Mary Franson (R-Alexandria) released the following statement following passage of House File 826 – the “Safe and Supportive Schools Act” in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
“We learned from MNsure – the implementation of Obamacare in Minnesota – that one-size-fits-all mandates from St. Paul do not work,” said Franson. “I trust the schools in our community to address bullying more effectively than politicians and bureaucrats in St. Paul. Instead of empowering local school districts, this bill infringes on the rights of students, parents, and locally-elected school boards.”
