2021 MLC Education Committee Meeting

July

11-13

The MLC Education Committee met in July 2021 in conjunction with the 75th Annual Meeting of the Midwestern Legislative Conference in Rapid City, S.D.

Along with holding a legislative roundtable discussion on trends in education policy, this nonpartisan, binational committee of legislators learned about new funding opportunities under the American Rescue Plan Act, explored post-pandemic challenges and opportunities for state K-12 education systems, and helped lead an expert-led session on state strategies to bolster  vocational education. More information on those sessions can be found below.
