St. Paul, MN - Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) and local education officials will host a community policy forum on K-12 public education. This event will provide an opportunity for our education leaders to discuss some of the challenges facing Minnesota school districts and provide input on the reauthorization of Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
Madam Speaker, across our country there are communities, businesses, and families that continue to struggle to escape an economic recession that has caused far reaching hardship and too much pain. Congress has a responsibility to ensure the economic security of the American people, as well as defend the national security of the nation. This appropriations bill does not adequately meet the needs of the American people and I will not vote to pass it.
