Hey Gov. Walz — Opt-In!

In the last several years, Minnesota’s education ranking has tanked. Sadly, test scores have shown that less than half of Minnesota students can read at grade level and less than half are proficient in math. It’s clear that our students need help to get back to where we once were in terms of academic excellence. Our state should be pursuing every avenue necessary to get our children the education they deserve.

St. Cloud area MSHSL sectional football championship predictions

ST. CLOUD — The sectional football championships are finally here. Six teams remain throughout the area in hopes of punching their ticket into the MSHSL State Tournament. I went 7-1 on my opening-round sectional picks, incorrectly picking Sauk Rapids over Bemidji. Having skipped the semifinal round with the short week, here we go for championship Friday. Numbers are in correlation with sectional seeds, not state ranking.

Junior quarterback Connor Boser brings grit to both sides of the ball, while senior ATH Max Vannurden continues to produce incredible numbers since moving from wideout to running back. Royalton beat Osakis in an overtime thriller in Week 6, where Boser threw for three touchdowns and added two more on the ground. While it is hard to beat a team twice in a

'It shows people really care about their public schools'

School districts across the Iron Range and entire state will be receiving a little financial boost. A Minnesota Constitutional amendment on the state ballot was overwhelmingly approved by state voters Tuesday, increasing funding to all school districts from the Permanent School Fund. With 100 percent of precincts reported, the final vote was 2,067,164, or an estimated 72.91 percent in favor of the amendment and 666,208 no. The number of blanks was estimated at 101,783. “I was just pleased with the results,” Sen. Mary Kunesh, DFL-New Brighton, Minnesota Senate chief author of the amendment said. “It’s not going to fill all the holes in the bucket of education, but we know that every little bit helps. I think about the cost of transportation and the cost of diesel, so this is one way that Minnesotan’s were able to show their support for schools.” “I’m incredibly happy, Rep. Spencer Igo, R-Wabana Township, Minnesota House of Representatives chief author of the measure said. “That was an amazing show of support for the Permanent School Fund, but most of all for all the schools and the students in the state. Everyone came together to do good for all.” What is means is that each

Rocori High School soccer player hurt in crash near Rice

(Cold Spring, MN) -- A Rocori High School soccer standout remains hospitalized with serious injuries following a crash in central Minnesota. Junior midfielder Juan Cortez was hurt early Sunday morning when the car he was riding in ran a stop sign and collided with another vehicle east of Rice. The impact threw Cortez from the car. Rocori coach Chris Stavros says teammates, other schools and the community have rallied around the teenager and his family. A fundraiser raised more than 21-thousand dollars in less than 24 hours to help cover travel, food and other expenses while Cortez receives treatment.

Local voters approve school funding increase

MONTICELLO — Public school districts across Minnesota, including those serving Monticello, Big Lake and Becker, will receive additional funding beginning next summer after voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment increasing annual payments from the state's Permanent School Fund. The amendment, approved in Tuesday's general election, increases the amount distributed annually from the $2.3 billion fund, which supports public education without raising income or property taxes. Unofficial statewide results early Wednesday showed approximately 73% of voters supporting the measure, with 23% opposed and 4% leaving the question blank. Locally, the amendment received majority support in Monticello, Big Lake and Becker, as well as their surrounding townships, according to unofficial results from the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office. Support was strongest in Monticello, where 4,309 voters supported the amendment and 1,695 opposed it. Including ballots left blank, the measure received 68.8% support in the city. In Big Lake, 64.1% of voters supported the amendment, while Becker voters approved it with 60.7% support. Voters in the surrounding townships were less supportive. The amendment received 57.8% support in Monticello Township, 56.4% in Big Lake Township and 55.5% in Becker Township. Countywide, the measure received 65.2% support in Wright County, compared with 59.5% in neighboring
