Call the Governor's office, 800-657-3717, and ask him to sign HF6 or give him feedback about it. This would mean some additional monies for the schools in our area. Here is the link to the current bill. https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/bin/...
Thanks to Rep. Nornes for supporting the bill.

Back to the topic of the Education Bill. It will be interesting to see if this passes and is an indication that there is some recognition that the current method of school funding is no longer working. If you are concerned it is important to let your legislators know that. The basic state aid for schools is scheduled to increase ONLY 1 percent for the 2008-09 school year. As all of us know costs are going up FAR faster than that. A survey of Minnesota school districts indicates that more than 1,000 teachers could lose their jobs due to budget cuts this year. This is a statewide issue.
At MACCRAY school, they are looking at going to a 4 day week due to finances. MACCRAY is an acronym made up of the three communities the district serves: Maynard, Clara City and Raymond. It sounds like they are going to closed on Mondays if approved by State Education Commissioner Alice Seagren. These types of things as well as increased fees are going to happen more and more.

Tough life lesson learned then for these students but would anticipate that their IT skills and training opens up career options that they did not have before they went to school. Life rarely seems to go as we plan.
Good luck to the graduates!

I read 9/2006 article and it specifically says in there that "ACS hopes to hire FFCTC graduates but is under no obligation to do do".

I-94 is open. They reopened it this afternoon.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has reopened Interstate 94 late this afternoon from Fargo to Alexandria, Minn., after the 100-mile stretch of road was caught in the crosshairs of Fargo’s largest snowfall this winter. Read this in the Fargo Forum.

I find the comments entertaining, at times, but when I read the majority of them I figure it is like listening to rumors in that there are varied levels of accuracy. Different perspectives on various community topics are interesting.
It is disheartening when people make comments about a specific person or incident (based on incorrect information) as was described by a recent letter to the editor as well as other similar examples. Those times are when it is difficult to see any possible benefit of a comment section. Some papers have talk about sections rather than a comment section after each article. I prefer those.
