Hello CSforAll-MN Advisory Committee:

UPDATE: A new negotiated bipartisan budget framework allocates $1 billion of the budget surplus to education. Late today, House co-chair of the Education Conference Committee (Davnie) has made an offer to the Senate conferees that retains the small budget line (28) for the CS Education Foundational Blueprint! Conference committee meets again tomorrow and must complete its work this week.

Call for Action:

Emails or calls to your legislators: encourage them to support the CS Education Foundational Blueprint language & budget ($20k) in HF4300/SF4113, the Education omnibus bill being negotiated now. Let them know you are a constituent and why this matters to you.
