About the Legislative Action Committee (LAC)
The Edina School Board developed a non-partisan Legislative Action Committee in Fall 2018 focused on issues impacting education in Minnesota and Edina Public Schools, specifically. The LAC has set the following goals:
-
To develop and propose legislative positions to the School Board, designed to advance Edina Public School’s mission;
-
To inform and publicize approved legislative positions and proposed actions to the Board and community;
-
To coordinate advocacy efforts throughout the District;
-
To advocate to state and federal legislators for positions identified by the LAC and approved by the Board.
