CASE: Community Action for Student Education
Making a case for Minnetonka Public School funding.
Minnetonka community members formed CASE to advocate at the Minnesota Legislature for full school funding. Our goal is to monitor possible changes in the law and encourage legislators to reinvest in public education at the state level.
CASE is a non partisan organization. We will not endorse candidates for an elected office, including nonpartisan elected positions. As individual citizens, members of CASE are not prohibited from participating in various election efforts, but their opinions and actions do not represent CASE in doing so. CASE consists mostly of parents, but we also work with community members and business leaders.
There are many facets to this endeavor including membership, communication, research, event planning and lobbying. The commitment is varied and there is a place for anyone with a passion to make a difference in the lives of our students and our school district.
