St. Martin is opposed to AI in classrooms, wants to ‘audit’ programs
April St. Martin, a candidate for the Owatonna school board, discussed her stances on technology in the classroom, her approach to increasingly limited funding and her primary focus if elected. St. Martin has lived in Owatonna for 33 years and is a 1996 graduate of Owatonna High School. She has three children who went through the Owatonna School District and two grandchildren. She earned her associate’s degree from Riverland Community College and attended Crown College with the intention of earning a four-year degree and becoming an elementary teacher, but was forced to forgo that dream to care for her ailing mother. She is currently an elementary school bus driver, and this is her third school board campaign. St. Martin has entered the race for two primary reasons. The first is that she doesn’t believe that the board has faithfully represented her values or those of the community. “My interest in running for school board is because I see things happening that don’t align with my values or other people’s values,” she said. “I drive a school bus, and I get a lot of feedback from parents feeling like they don’t have a voice, that they can’t have input in things
