Here are the superintendent representatives on the committee:

Mr. Gregg Slaathaug – Hayfield Community Schools

Ms. Mary Morem – Houston Public Schools, MN Virtual Academy

Letter to Commissioner Jett Regarding OFP Limitation for Special Education Teachers

The lobbyist for the MASE reached out to the education organizations to see if there was an interest in signing onto a letter to Commissioner Jett outlining concerns regarding recent guidance limiting out of field permissions for special education teachers. Given the number of concerns I have heard from members regarding MDE’s direction, I signed MASA onto the letter.
