“We are grateful to Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton for his support of the historic education reforms he signed into law that raise the bar, not only to put the best teachers in our classrooms, but also to keep the best teachers in our classrooms. These measures are a fundamental shift toward viewing our educators as true professionals, by recognizing the value of their education, experience and performance in the classroom.”
