*** MEDIA ADVISORY ***
 
Minnesotans encouraged to submit suggestions for reform at local meetings and on Klobuchar’s Senate website

WHAT:
Beginning today, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar’s staff will hold K-12 Education Forums throughout Minnesota to hear from educators, parents, administrators and community members about education reform and their views on the federal No Child Left Behind law, which is up for reauthorization by Congress this year.  Klobuchar wants to know what education reforms at the federal level would best serve Minnesota schools and their students.
