[Winona Online Democracy] In 1964 when most buildings were full the Minnesota births in 1959 were 88,333 yet in 2004 down to 70,614 with the low hitting in 1973 at 53,783.
While not the educational issue that Chris may be after the Statistical Data shows that in Minnesota in 1990, the age that may match the population of the ALC, was continuing to decline from 67,986 births to 63,259 in 1995. The Minnesota birth rate in 1990 was 15.5 dropping to 13.4 in 2001. Winona's in 2004 was down to 11.2 percent. The Minnesota percentage of those giving birth but not married went from 20.9 in 1990 (Current 15-16 year olds) to 25.8 in 2001 (Our current 5 year olds). Could failing relationships of kids with their parents contribute to the increased ALC population? Is the ALC caught with the parenting roll? Is the ALC growth the result of the breakdown of the functional family? Should the ALC be run by Social Services rather than the schools? Paul Double Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 10:22 AM To: Chris Nelson "Why has the population of the ALC grown when the population of school age children has decreased? " I think this is the most important question in Education today and that an honest discussion about this topic and similar issues across the grades may be the key to real education reform.
