Secretary of State’s Office Seeks Applicants to Serve on Governor’s Early Learning Council
The Early Learning Council makes recommendations to the Governor and the Minnesota Legislature to ensure every child is ready for kindergarten and affordable quality early childhood education and care is available to all children. The Governor’s Early Learning Council is poised to play a pivotal role in early childhood policy and systems-building efforts over the next few years.
That's why it's critical that we provide a good pool of applicants from which Governor Dayton can choose his appointments!
The Council will meet quarterly for probably 2 or 4 year terms, and mileage is reimbursed. Meetings are held at MN Department of Education, 1500 Highway 36 West, Roseville.
Applications submitted by April 26, 2011 are assured of full consideration by the appointing authority. A letter of interest and resume (or biography) must be submitted via fax/email/mail with the completed & signed application.
The Secretary of State's office announced openings on the Governor's Early Learning Council. Governor Dayton's Executive Order 11-05, which he announced at the Voices for Children Day Rally, creates the Early Learning Council, which replaces and builds on the work of the Early Childhood Advisory Council formed by Governor Pawlenty in 2009.
Under Governor Dayton's order, the Council will consist of up to 30 members, 26 of whom are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Governor. Governor Dayton is interested in including individuals with the following expertise, affiliations, or backgrounds on the Council:
a) Representatives of local government groups
b) Representatives of local school districts
c) Individuals with Head Start expertise
d) Providers of early childhood supports and services
e) Representatives of higher education
f) Individuals whose families received early childhood supports or services (minimum 2 parents)
g) Individuals from non-profits involved in early childhood issues
h) Members of the business community
i) Representative of the philanthropic community
