Dear neighbors,
As you have probably heard, this session we passed all-day kindergarten funding for every Minnesota child. We currently have all-day kindergarten in our local schools, but parents are footing the bill. KSTP recently highlighted Minnetonka schools in a story on all-day K, and pointed out that Minnetonka families will save $4,100 per student because of this new funding. I invite you to watch what the impact of optional all-day K will be for students, parents, families and teachers in our community. The funding will kick in for the 2014-2015 school year.
You can check out the full KSTP story here:

As always, please contact me anytime with your questions, comments and concerns. It is an honor to be your voice in St. Paul.
Yvonne
