I was thinking about whether or not there is a "Metro" angle to Education Issues, when I ran across this article.
I'm not really sure if the school calendars are really a "Metro" issue of any interest or concern, but maybe it will spark some other ideas about educational issues that might be of concern to a Metro wide audience?
Are there education issues which you think require a "metro" wide solution or discussion? Racial diversity in schools is certainly one issue which will likely get more attention as a "metro" issue in the years to come....

"In Minnesota, it has been almost taboo to start school before Labor Day. But this year, the majority of metro area school districts have decided to begin the school year before the fall holiday."
