Digging Deep on Education: Funding and Consolidation

The Majestic Hibbing High School

Aaron Brown and Chuck Marohn continue the conversation on education in this next episode. 

Most school districts in northern Minnesota find themselves in situations that involve their older buildings with failing infrastructure.  But where do the models for the future of schools come from?  How come most school districts have the same answer to their problems - leaving old buildings for larger, consolidated buildings on the edge of towns?  What COULD we do instead? 

We want to know what you think.  Are you a parent?  How do you think schools should address their problems?  What did your school district do and is it working? 

As always, there are more answers than there are questions.  Send us your thoughtson Dig Deep on Education.  And don't forget to sign up for the  podcast of Dig Deep, via iTunes.
