ISD First Aid

The ISD First Aid Kit gives you the tools to see what schools are – and aren’t – doing. It helps a community protect learning and student achievement as the cornerstones of public education. It provides precise local data showing how your school district performs.

Safeguard the policy and practices in your Minnesota school district. Ensure that they are fair and legal for teachers of all circumstances and backgrounds. Start by checking Defending Ed's report on Minnesota here: defendinged.org/investigations…

If you are mulling a run for the Legislature or your local School Board this year, an ISD First Aid Kit is the fastest way to orient to MN K12. Statutes, influencers, education debates, links and a support network to stabilize MN's K12 framework. Invest at isdfirstaid.com

Stalwart guardians of MN schools always deserve support! Birthdays. Father’s Day. Mother’s Day. Or just prep for Fall 2026-27. Adding an ISD First Aid Owner to local efforts in your favorite school district is a great path to transparent, focused schools. isdfirstaid.com

Support all of the capable, multiethnic teachers in your school district. Check links in the report and district practice. If your school district permits distributing funding and benefits to teachers based on race, ask your superintendent & school board to rescind the policy.

A K12 watchdog group published an investigation of MN school districts this week. It links to 50 districts that permit or restrict public funding for teacher professional development based on race. School districts can each undo this error. @DefendingEd defendinged.org/investigations…

Minnesota school boards have legal authority to delimit curriculum for their district classrooms. Ideological pressure from State lawmakers, agencies and influencers has made selection harder. If you are strengthening your district's choices, explore and share Urgent Care K12MN!

"Local control", "teachers are wonderful" and "flexible funding" are inadequate for the post-Trifecta era. MN needs State leaders clear-eyed about the governance, alignment and transparency required to deliver 13 years of learning to students of all circumstances and backgrounds.
