This is the ugliest balance sheet I've seen in a while. (And I'm a LEH alum!) Aug 31 cash balance is BONKERS.

DFL spin on the Education Omnibus bill did MN’s public schools no favors. And Mpls legislators’ silence - on the district’s challenges, the state’s role in them, & a sustainable path forward - has been deafening.

I'm at MPS Finance Committee & there are 3 members of the public here. Everyone else (~10 ppl) is an MPS employee, School Board Director, or media. Meetings aren't streamed. It's like this every month (except 1). And THAT is how we got here in a nutshell. meetings.boardbook.org/Public/Agenda/…

Not a good look.

If you’re an elected leader publicly supporting the Minneapolis Public Schools tech levy (& you should) but *silent* on the need to fully fund the SPED & EL cross-subsidies that cost MPS more $ each year than the levy will gain it - you’ve lost the plot.

Mpls & MN electeds: POLICY > performative BS. Do. Something.

Fascinating new data on the severity of chronic absenteeism in MN schools from MDE. Interesting that while the number of chronically absent students doubled from 18/19 to 21/22 the slices of absenteeism have been pretty stable. How does this compare to other states? #mnleg

The Minneapolis Public Schools School Board is gonna begin visiting sites, as part of its “school transformations” work. Nero fiddled while Rome burned; our school board is gonna tour it.

Literacy is a civil right. Grateful for Kareem J. Weaver’s advocacy & NAACP’s leadership. the74million.org/article/naacp-…

If a school board candidate a). Denies the literacy crisis, b). Says literacy standards are made up, & c). Suggests poor kids should have different expectations… They are unserious & unfit to serve.

The bigotry of low expectations is a helluva thing.
