Issue Position: Technology and Education

Issue Position

2016:
I believe technology and education go hand in hand, and while improved technology will benefit all of Northern MN, the education sector has the most to gain. We can utilize technology to aid our teachers, improve the delivery of our education services, and the upgrade the content given to our students. To do this, we need to improve the funding to Northern MN Schools, and make advancements in our internet infrastructure in schools, and homes. Finally, we need to find ways to make post-secondary education more affordable.

2018:
Education: Secured 22.5 Million to help construct a new academic Center for BSU. Also, we secured millions more in per-pupil funding to improve our districts classrooms for students, and teachers.
Technology: Expanded a sales tax exemption for telecommunications equipment to maximize the effectiveness of investments made in broadband expansion.
