Traveling around the state touting his new plan for education, DFL Candidate for Governor Matt Entenza stops by Mankato today.He's calling it the Great Schools, Great Minnesota Tour, and it features a component-developed right here in Mankato.News 12's Ryan Gustafson has the story.If Matt Entenza has his way as governor, he'll toss out the federal government's education plan.Matt Entenza says, "The education plan we've released does not require new funding. Scrapping No Child Left Behind will free up teacher time, free up resources and actually save us substantial amount of state money. The mentorship program pioneered by MSU-M actually saves money over time."That mentorship program gets high grades from MSU, of course, with officials saying it is the best way to train teachers.Jean Haar says, "They have one year to help a student grow academically - you can't expect the new teacher to stop in and know the same as a person who has been teaching for 20 years. It's silly that we've been operating that way as a profession."Other aspects of Entenza's plan include requiring an application to an post-secondary institution to earn a high school diploma, and creating what he calls a clearinghouse of best practices to help teachers share lesson plans and get feedback.Entenza also took a shot at one of his fellow DFL candidates... criticizing Margaret Anderson Kelliher's plan to shift school funding from property taxes onto the state.Matt Entenza says, "The proposal that I've seen from Representative Kelliher is a promise of up to 3.5 billion dollars. We have a six billion dollar deficit. Unless we have a plan to raise taxes beyond anything we have seen in the state or cuts that would be devastating in other areas, I don't believe that you can promise that new spending and that's why I'm not making promises we can't keep."The primary election between Entenza, Anderson-Kelliher and Mark Dayton is August tenth.In Mankato, Ryan Gustafson, News 12.
