I disagree with Kathleen Fischer Giebel comment on educational funding.
I think we do a good job in supporting education in Winona and in
Minnesota. This is how we stack up against the rest of the country.
Minnesota is ranked 17th in teacher salaries.
Minnesota is ranked 20th in the cost of living index
Minnesota is ranked 16th in expenditures per pupil
State spending as a percentage of local educational spending we are 20th
Minnesota spends 62.8 % of education dollars on instruction 15th in the
country.
There is however, one area we do get short changed.
Minnesota is 46th in the amount of money the Federal government provides
our state as a percentage of our total educational expense.
