In so many ways, Minnesota's success starts in our schools. We need to recognize our top economic priority for the future is to invest in education and ensure all of our students have access to a world-class public education. My priorities:
Close the opportunity gap by making strong investments in pre-K education so that all students are better prepared to learn by kindergarten
Stop squeezing our schools and start making investments that allow our schools to offer our students a top-notch education
Reform standardized testing and offer more support for our teachers, who each day inspire students to learn, grow and succeed
