No one can say that Governor Pawlenty isn’t backing up his Education Commissioner. Here’s his email reply on the Red Plan. I think the word is “verbatim.”
Ms. Victim of the Duluth School Board [not the Gov’s actual words]
Thank you for your correspondence to Governor Pawlenty regarding the Duluth Public Schools “Red Plan.” He has asked me to respond.
Minnesota state law gives the locally elected independent board of school districts authority and responsibility to conduct school district business as it relates to school facilities.
Ultimately, I encourage the people of Duluth to work together at the local level to resolve the issues around the district’s facilities.
Thank you for contacting the Governor with your concerns.
