Did you know that every public school student in Minnesota is part of a trust fund? Minnesota owns state public lands that generate revenue from timber, mining, and land leases. That money is placed into a protected investment trust dedicated strictly to supporting public school districts across the state. Due to investment growth, the fund has expanded from $675 million in 2010 to more than $2.3 billion today, but distributions have not kept pace because of outdated constitutional restrictions. This November, Minnesota voters can vote to increase the fund.
What does this ballot question change?
Sends more money to classrooms: Current constitutional rules limit payouts primarily to interest and dividends, restricting how much money reaches schools. The amendment modernizes the formula to increase the annual distribution from 2-2.5% to 4.5% of the fund's total value, significantly increasing payments to all Minnesota public schools.
Zero tax increase: It does not raise property, income, or sales taxes. It uses money already sitting in an existing investment fund.
Bipartisan agreement: The update was unanimously recommended by a nonpartisan task force and received strong bipartisan support in both the Minnesota House and Senate.
Under Minnesota law, a constitutional amendment must receive approval from a majority of all voters. Skipping the question has the exact same mathematical impact as actively voting against it. To support the amendment, you must vote "YES."Leaving the question blank counts as a "NO" vote. You can learn more about this atwww.mnpsfamendment.org.

And many other great ways to start your day... Honing badminton and basketball skills (though this hoopster's skills were already spot on), stretching your brain with a foreign language in French class, or using your open hour to croquet or solve a puzzle.

Due to the forecasted inclement weather for Friday, we are adjusting the homecoming games schedule for John Marshall and Mayo High Schools as follows:
⚽ Varsity Girls' Soccer Game: Thursday, September 17, at 4:30 p.m.
🏈 Varsity Football Game: Thursday, September 17, at 7:30 p.m.
We are continuing to monitor the weather regarding Friday's parades. Because permits are valid only for Friday, the parades cannot be rescheduled and will be canceled in the event of inclement weather. We will make the decision about the parade on Thursday based on the weather forecast and will communicate any updates as early as possible.
All other homecoming activities will take place as planned.
