Education MN - Edina

On Wednesday, EM/E members were at the MN State Capitol to meet with Edina’s State Senators and Reps about how they can best support public schools and educators. Thank you to Senators Mann and Latz and Reps Greene and Kraft for taking time to listen.

NOW IS THE TIME! We call on @GovTimWalz and legislative leaders @melissahortman and @KariDziedzic NOT to adjourn until teacher pension reform is addressed. #mnleg #fairpensionsnow

The Legislature may adjourn early, and we need to let them know they cannot go home without addressing pension reform. Join teachers from around the State at 6:30 p.m. this Tuesday to march for fair pensions on the Capitol grounds!

Fair pension reform is a top priority for Minnesota teachers. Tell state leaders not to adjourn until they address this critical recruitment and retention issue: edmn.me/3pCMAzl #mnleg #edmnvotes #fairpensionsnow

Congratulations to Jennifer Gross, third grade teacher at Countryside, who was named as the @EdinaChamber Teacher of the Year and was acknowledged recently at the Shark Tank event!

Happy #SchoolNurseDay! State leaders can honor them by ensuring every student has access to one of these licensed professionals. #mnleg #edmnvotes #fundourschools

What a day for @edinaschools #Cornelia teacher Giovanna Valeria Margalli! FINALIST for #mntoy Let’s give her some Twitter love Edina Family! So proud to know you, Giovanna💚. #Excellence #ThankATeacher

Governor Walz shows up for us - he understands what it takes to keep this profession alive. He took the time to meet with pension leaders at the RC before he took the stage, to hear directly about the immediate need for fair pension reform. #edmnrc @GovTimWalz

Save the date!

This action was intended as a positive affirmation of support for their school, their community & each other. Cornelia teaches love their school & seek to partner with the district on voice in decisions that impact their building. 2/2
