Taking public notices for schools out of newspapers would hurt public
A significant discussion is taking place at the state Legislature in reaction to the recent announcement that eight community newspapers will close at the end of the month.Under a proposal in the Senate Education Policy Omnibus bill (SF 3567), school districts would no longer be required to publish their proceedings in newspapers and could instead move them to their own websites.We believe the proposal, which is backed by the Minnesota School Boards Association, is a knee-jerk reaction made too quickly after the announcement about the southwest metro newspapers and does not take into consideration possible solutions.While there is a possibility some of these newspapers could still be purchased, there is also a law already in place that says if you don’t have a legal newspaper in your county, those notices can be placed in a newspaper in an adjoining county.
