Issue Position

Quality public schools form the backbone of our community. The Minneapolis public schools continue to face challenges, many of them forced onto us by the state's unwillingness to properly fund our schools. Bobby Joe Champion is an advocate for early childhood education programs, keeping our North Minneapolis schools open, closing the achievement gap, lowering class sizes, and ensuring teachers have the resources they need to educate the diverse student population of our district.

Last year, under Republican leadership, Bobby Joe Champion stopped Republican efforts to divert Minneapolis school funding into private school vouchers and he fought against ending Minnesota's integration program.
