Superintendent Roger Giroux (School District #11, largest in the state I believe) explained the test results in the 8-24-07 issue of the Coon Rapids Herald. It is the test's fault. The test "can serve as a misplaced milestone failing to mark the right path and failing to forewarn of the hazards." Not surprisingly, the school district is looking to achieve a $1000.00 per pupil increase in levy funding this November. Relax people.

For starters he is a decent enough guy, even when you factor in the political stuff. Secondly, if you sat down with him you would learn he's more Arnie and Elmer than Sviggy and T-Paw. I don't think he even signed the "I want to have dirty sex with David Strom, aka the Taxpayers League No New Tax Pledge" when he ran for the legislature. Thirdly, do you really think T-Paw has McClung do his stances (wide or otherwise)? I have to believe that someone with as high of a national aspiration and profile as our G'ubnah has people from the state GOP and RNC doing his position statements (or at least has input on them).
