This November, Minneapolis voters have the opportunity to support two referenda that will strengthen the Minneapolis Public Schools.
First is the ABC School Board Districting referendum. "ABC" Stands for Accountable, geographically Balanced, and Connected to the community. It calls for a change the Minneapolis School Board from seven members, all elected at-large, to nine members three elected at-large and six representing separate geographic areas. This change allows for fairer representation by giving you the chance to elect leaders who know the unique needs of your local schools and community.
Second is the Strong Schools Strong City referendum. Also known as the Vote Yes For Kids referendum, it will provide $60 million a year to the Minneapolis Public Schools for eight years. The referendum will fund essential education basics: early age reading, math and science, and up-to-date textbooks and technology. Half of the referendum dollars will go to continue the district's commitment to managing class size.
Please join us on Monday, October 27th to learn more about these two issues that will be on the ballot on November 4th. Whether you have kids in the Minneapolis Public Schools or not, the future of our kids and our city depend on every child getting the education they need. The strength of our community depends on the strength of our schools; the strength of our schools depends on the strength of our community.
