Funding to re-establish Minnesota’s Sex Ed Regional Training Sites

Endangered: Regional Training Site Funding Support for Comprehensive Sex Education

As a result of the “no new taxes” Governance we are seeing roadblocks to the Renewed Funding for Regional Training Sites bill. While a formal amendment for renewed funding was withdrawn in the Senate Education Finance committee by Senator Kelley, it is still possible funds may be found later in the process. Please call members of the Senate Education Finance Committee to urge their support for these sites. To read more about this bill and to find contact information for Senate Education Finance Committee members look below.

Comp Sex Ed and Renewed Funding for Regional Training Sites Moving in Senate

The education budget committee in the Senate is working this week to wrap-up its omnibus budget bill [SF1148]. As of now, it appears the bill will include provisions from SF878, which establishes clear guidelines for comprehensive sexual health education in Minnesota schools. It also appears the bill will include funding to re-establish regional training sites in suburban and Greater Minnesota communities to help schools implement the comp sex ed guidelines. A big thanks to Sen. Steve Kelley [DFL - Hopkins] who is leading the effort to get the comp sex ed and regional training site provisions incorporated in the education omnibus bill. Visit the Bill Tracker for more info. Also, watch your email in-box. MAP is releasing a rare, special action alert to start getting phone calls going in the House to ensure passage of comp sex ed reforms this year!

Updated: March 9, 2005

SF1261 and HF1300 were introduced by Sen. Paul Koering [R – Brainerd] and Rep. Mindy Greiling [DFL – Roseville] They propose to re-establish regional training sites to help school districts implement the comp sex ed standards.
