    EdAllies Legislative Scorecard Educational Excellence & Equity at the Capitol 2017–2018 TABLE OF CONTENTS EdAllies Legislative Scorecard Educational Excellence and Equity at the Capitol 2017-2018 Introduction 2 What’s in the Scorecard 3 Issues Diverse & Effective Educators 4 School Discipline 11 Data & Transparency 14 Welcoming & Accessible Schools 18 Parent Choice 22 Final Votes: The Omnibus Bills 26 Vote Tables House 29 Senate 40 EdAllies Legislative Scorecard 2017–2018 1 INTRODUCTION Dear partners, At EdAllies, we work to ensure that every young Minnesotan has access to a rigorous and engaging education—work we simply cannot do without empowered, informed advocates. Yet, too often, Minnesota’s confusing policymaking process makes it hard to understand what’s happening with education policy change at the Capitol. Given our state’s urgent need to address opportunity and achievement gaps, this is unacceptable. To accomplish more for Minnesota students, we need greater transparency around policy progress and setbacks. We made this legislative scorecard to help you understand education efforts over the last two years, also known as the legislative biennium. We recap key policies that legislators introduced, our position, and, when possible, the votes. Though our policymakers didn’t make as much progress for Minnesota students as we hoped during the 90th biennium, they made some notable changes. For example, our legislators reached across the aisle to: • open Minnesota’s doors to great out-of-state and alternatively prepared educators; • support new programs to recruit and retain teachers of color; • advance trailblazing legislation to disaggregate student achievement data, and more. Of course, there’s much more work to do to set up all Minnesota students for success.
