SAINT PAUL, MINN — Today on Teacher Appreciation Day, State Rep. Fue Lee (DFL-Minneapolis) thanked teachers for their contributions to the lives of Minnesota students. Rep. Lee recently spoke on the house floor in support of Minnesota teachers and he released the following statement:
“I have deep respect for all of the teachers that have positively impacted me, and I want to give special recognition on Teacher Appreciation Day to the men and women who are working hard to prepare our youngest learners. Through their roles as early childhood educators, these Minnesotans are fulfilling the promise that every Minnesota child deserves a great early childhood education. We need to be doing more at the Legislature to support these educators who are supporting our kids. We need to ensure that early educators and adult basic educators have access to the same protections as their colleagues. We need to be strengthening all teaching careers.”
Rep. Lee encourages constituents to contact him with any questions, comments, concerns, or ideas on any legislative topic. Rep. Lee can be reached by phone at 651-296-4262 or by email at rep.fue.lee@house.mn .
