One of my sources at the State Capitol tells me that legislators receive "volumes of emails from supporters of a new Vikings stadium but next to nothing from those that support our public schools."
Delano Public Schools is not immune to the cuts that could happen by the legislature in resolving the $6.2B deficit.
Legislators need to hear from their constituents regarding the importance of school funding.

School Board Meeting on February 28
The February 28 regular school board meeting is at Delano City Hall beginning at 7:00 p.m. First on the agenda will be a presentation by first grade students demonstrating their newly acquired reading skills in connection with "I Love to Read Month." That will be followed by a report by Energy Services Group on the cost savings associated with the first full year of the energy savings upgrades.
There will be a discussion on a proposal to establish one polling place as a cost savings measure for school district elections not held on the same day as a statewide election, which is expected to occur on November 1, 2011. This would make Delano Middle School the only polling place for those elections and would eliminate the polling places at Loretto and Independence. There are about 864 registered voters at Loretto and 1111 at Independence. The cost savings the first year would be about $2,296. There would also be quite a savings in manpower to set up just one polling place. This will not be voted on by the board on February 28, just discussed.
Board meetings are live on Delano Cable Channel 12 and streamed later over the school district website.
