Mr. Schulz was pumped to receive this week’s award, and when it came time for a celebratory photo, the students made the moment even more special by calling out, “Yes! Family Photo!” A sweet reminder that at Kellogg, we’re more than a school, we’re a family.

Congratulations, Mr. Schulz! Thank you for all you do to make our Comet community shine!

Yesterday, Kellogg students practiced safe and respectful cycling. Thanks to our Safe Routes to Schools program, students got to use the trailer bikes to set out on a ride around Silver Lake Park.

The RPS Safe Routes to School program offers a mobile fleet of secondary school bicycles to support engaging, standards-aligned learning experiences throughout the school year. This fleet is 100% supported by MnDot & community grants and the in-kind time of our numerous volunteers. The program helps schools meet Minnesota's Active Transportation Safety Training requirements, and even goes beyond basic bicycle safety.

Did you know that every public school student in Minnesota is part of a trust fund? Minnesota owns state public lands that generate revenue from timber, mining, and land leases. That money is placed into a protected investment trust dedicated strictly to supporting public school districts across the state. Due to investment growth, the fund has expanded from $675 million in 2010 to more than $2.3 billion today, but distributions have not kept pace because of outdated constitutional restrictions. This November, Minnesota voters can vote to increase the fund.

What does this ballot question change?

  • Sends more money to classrooms: Current constitutional rules limit payouts primarily to interest and dividends, restricting how much money reaches schools. The amendment modernizes the formula to increase the annual distribution from 2-2.5% to 4.5% of the fund's total value, significantly increasing payments to all Minnesota public schools.

  • Zero tax increase: It does not raise property, income, or sales taxes. It uses money already sitting in an existing investment fund.

  • Bipartisan agreement: The update was unanimously recommended by a nonpartisan task force and received strong bipartisan support in both the Minnesota House and Senate.

Under Minnesota law, a constitutional amendment must receive approval from a majority of all voters. Skipping the question has the exact same mathematical impact as actively voting against it. To support the amendment, you must vote "YES." Leaving the question blank counts as a "NO" vote. You can learn more about this at www.mnpsfamendment.org.
