Former Mayor and Congressman Don Fraser thinks early childhood education is key to combatting Minneapolis’s achievement gap. Don Fraser spoke at Minneapolis City Councilman’s monthly breakfast, at Mercado Central on east Lake Street June 25 2010. He became involved with early childhood education when School Superintendent Richard Green asked for his support to narrow the achievement gap. Mayor Fraser became a backer of Head Start, but he wonders if today it’s funded enough, and enrolling enough. He also brings up in this video two other solutions that have been shown to raise achievement : Longer school days, and longer school years. But–where will the money come from to fund these programs?

Is Minnesota falling behind in early childhood education?

Megan Bolt asked 4 Gubernatorial Candidates, Matt Entenza, Tom Horner, Mark Dayton and Rob Hahn whether Minnesota early childhood education is falling behind. She sites a Federal Reserve Bank study, but only 1 in 7 Minnesota 4 year olds is enrolled compared to 1 in 3 nationwide. Tom Horner : “Against a 6 Billion dollar shortfall–there can be no more important investment if Minnesota makes than investing in early childhood education”. Mark Dayton : “Headstart made an incredible difference in the readiness of those children, and yet today there’s sufficient funding nationwide for less than half of all the children that are Headstart eligible to attend. Rob Hahn : “The simple answer is yes absolutely, the more compicated anwer, and I want to echo what both Mark and Tom said, We need to look where we’re spending it now and do an analysis of what’s working, Identify those programs that are successful, look at how they’re being funded, and try to create more like them. Conversely I think we have to look at those that frankly might not be working right that may be getting government funds, but just aren’t producing the results.” Matt Entenza : “But you notice over the last couple of legislative sessions, at the same time there’s been a lot of discussion but not much has happened. We’ve had a governor that believed the way forward was slashing.
