Return to Proven Academic Basics

Many in the community have communicated concerns regarding the ever-increasing seep of political extremism into our classrooms at the expense of academic achievement..  Improving curriculum transparency as presented above and improving the current board governance policy to return to direct board involvement at the level of curriculum and textbook approval as MN Statute calls for will go a long way to remedy this concern. Of course, the community will need to elect candidates who are dedicated to transparency, measured academic goals as explained above and a willingness to increase the time spent as a board member on these tasks. Given that board members are currently paid $7000 annually for their time, this should not be a big ask from the community funding their salaries. The community must elect school board members who are willing to put in the required time to ensure best academic outcomes and provide real community representation.
