In this episode of AmplifiED, we discuss with Matt Shaver, the policy director of EDAllies. Matt and hosts Margaret Sullivan and Josh Crosson discussed the current issues of the day, the opportunities and challenges facing students, educators and families, and the importance of policy advocacy and collaboration. They talked about the combative atmosphere of the current March Madness at the Capitol and the stress it places on everyone involved. They also discussed advocating for kids, the K-3 suspension band, and investing in education. Finally, they delved into the complexities of the special education funding formula in Minnesota, which has not been fixed since the 1970s.
