| Most important issue: | The State of Minnesota's poor system of allocating education funds puts undo property tax burden onto largely residential districts such as ours yet we continue to academically out-perform our wealthier neighboring districts. Given the fast pace of technology and competition our children face globally, the rigor and requirements on public education will only increase. Insuring that we continue to give our students the quality education they deserve and graduate top-notch students that are "prepared for life" despite our financial constraints is of utmost importance and priority at Centennial Schools. |
