Solving MDS-MNSA's State funding issues

Mary Harnett of the Commission of Deaf, Deaf-Blind and Hard-of-Hearing Minnesotans, (MCDHH) explains the issues that Metro Deaf School-Minnesota North Star Academy (MDS-MNSA) had with receiving Funding from the state, and how the Commission helped to resolve it with the Department of Education, and with the State Legislature. Increased funding for the school is now part of the omnibus budget bill, which has not yet passed the State Senate.

Note that I requested that she 'Sim-com" - using ASL and English at the same time. I apologize for this. I know it is not desirable, but I wanted to help ensure full access for both deaf and hearing people interested in this issue. (As well as helping to add captioning through Youtube). She definitely signs better than this, but that's what happens when you Sim-com.
