Thank you to everyone who attended, presented and planned AMSD’s annual conference on November 28. The theme of the conference, “Pursuing a Funding System that Ensures Equity, Access and Opportunity for All Students” built upon the Statewide Funding Strategy from the Reimagine Minnesota Roadmap. As this month’s research article highlights, we were honored to have a slate of outstanding presenters who shared their expertise and outlined some of the challenges and shortcomings of the current education funding system. Conference attendees went away armed with data and knowledge that will help them be effective advocates at the Capitol during the 2019 session!

Stephanie Levine, school board member from West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan, is chair of AMSD.
