Summer Learning Package Introduced
It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted learning across the state. While students, educators, and families have shown great resiliency, student achievement has been deeply impacted over the past year. It’s critical to invest in our students to ensure they can have the opportunity to catch up from learning loss if they’ve fallen behind.
My House colleagues and I have developed a Summer Learning Package that invests in students from cradle to career. The bill addresses learning loss by expanding access to tutoring, investing in field trips and hands-on learning, and implementing summer programs for preschoolers, high schoolers, and adults who want to sharpen their skills. The measure also funds student mental health support and delivers funding for school districts that have experienced declining enrollment.
Protecting Minnesotans from Price Gouging
Today, my colleagues and I will vote on a bill to help protect Minnesotans from exorbitant pricing of essential goods and services during a local or national emergency. A state of emergency- when people’s fears and vulnerabilities are most exposed- is not the time for profiteering. While most Minnesota businesses would not engage in these predatory practices, those that would, ought to be held accountable. I support this measure and look forward to its advancement.
