MINNESOTA SCHOOL FUNDING RESTORED

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has announced he has secured an agreement from the Trump Administration to release the education funding that was being withheld.  Ellison says the full balance of money coming to Minnesota schools should arrive no later than October 3.  Last month, Minnesota joined a coalition of states that sued the Trump Administration arguing that freezing funding for programs administered by the U.S Department of Education was unconstitutional and unlawful.  This means Minnesota will get the full $74-million in funding.  Ellison says “When Minnesotans pay their federal taxes, we expect that money to come back and support our schools.”
