Legislative Update
Hello friends,
We are currently working through the weekend in order to complete as much as we can by adjournment on Monday at midnight. A budget deal was reached between House leadership, Senate leadership, and the Governor on Wednesday night this week. As we move quickly closer to the end of session, we can feel the rush, which was at least in part perpetuated by the 23-day Democrat boycott at the beginning. Regardless, we are working hard to wrap everything up and I will keep you updated as I can in the coming days.

Mueller Minute
In this weeks Mueller Minute, I pulled two of my floor speeches for you to see.
In the first one, I talked about the destructive habits of MDE as we consider important, bipartisan legislation for our schools.
In the second, I explained how the science of reading and literacy have actual impacts on student achievement.

The Science of Reading
Speaking of the important of literacy, CBS recently published this article about Chelsea Heights Elementary School in St. Paul. They have implemented the science of reading in their classrooms, and have seen excellent results from it. In classrooms from kindergarten to fifth grade, teachers in the district have seen improvements in their students ability to read, which is a fundamental life skill. I am excited to see real progress as schools across the state implement the science of reading in our classrooms, better teaching and equipping our students with the tools that they need to be successful.
