Thirty Greater Minnesota school districts will receive new, one-time funding for school-based pre-kindergarten and School Readiness Plus programs. They are among 59 Minnesota school districts and charter schools that received the funding, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton announced Friday. (See list below).
