Issue Position: Education

Over the last 2 years, Minnesota has increased funding of our education system by hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition to appropriately funding our schools, Representative Garofalo supports more accountability in our education funding. In previous sessions, Representative Garofalo successfully enacted a loan forgiveness plan, that will save the taxpayers of the Farmington School District over 30 million dollars.
Representative Garofalo has also chief authored the alternative license bill, which expands the pipeline of qualified individuals into the classrooms of our schools.
Representative Garofalo supports local control of our schools. Minnesotans do have a great track record with education. We don't need Washington, D.C. bureaucrats telling us how to run our schools. Representative Garofalo will work to keep schools under the control of local parents and teachers, not federal politicians.
