From Website of Minnesota Senate Office:

Education funding is always the top priority for state lawmakers when they set the state’s budget. According to the biennial 2007-2009 budget, about $13.7 billion dollars over two years will be directed towards early childhood through high school education programs. Host Jannell Trobec interviews House Education Finance Chair Mindy Greiling and Senator David Hann about the new funding initiatives.
School districts across the state are seeking support from voters to increase education funding through their property taxes. Students, teachers and administrators in the White Bear School District offer their perspective on the status of education funding in Minnesota. Plus, Assistant Senate Majority Leader Tarryl Clark and Education Commissioner Alice Seagren talk about past and future state efforts to fund our public schools.
