Too many elementary schools? Falling enrollment raises question by John Gessner SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Falling enrollment in School District 191 has reached a point where officials are asking whether they can continue to keep all 10 elementary schools open. The Burnsville-EaganSavage district’s Oct. 1 enrollment report, presented to the School Board Nov. 15, shows more decline this year and lower projections over the next five. With falling enrollment and “a lot of small, neighborhood schools,” Board Member Eric Miller asked

A salesman by trade, Ed Delmoro often expects “no” for an answer, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to take it. This is the 20th year Delmoro has raised funds on behalf of the Burnsville Community Foundation for the city’s winter streetlighting display. “It takes some tenacity,” said Delmoro, 84, a retired vice president of sales for the old Soo Line Railroad who started as a clerk-typist. “Everybody has their hand out asking for money. And if you just take ‘no,’ you’re never going to

get the money. I sort of take it as, ‘No, I didn’t talk to the right person, and I’ll try another avenue.’ ” The on switch was thrown Wednesday night at the foundation’s 20th annual lighting ceremony. The popular pre-winter event in Nicollet Commons Park also served as a tribute to the man who does the most to make the lighting happen. “It’s all about Ed Delmoro on Wednesday night,” said Burnsville Community Foundation President Michael Esch, who has seen the master fundraiser in action. “You definitely don’t want to say ‘no’ to Ed, because you can’t say ‘no’ to Ed,” Esch said.

Transport America honors veteran Driver’s truck freshly wrapped honoring his service

by Andy Rogers SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Transport America recently honored one of its drivers who served in the U.S. Army for 11 years with a newly wrapped truck. It’s the first truck in what the trucking company is calling the “Armed Forces Fleet” in Transport America. It was awarded the newly-designed truck to veteran driver Russ Cox, who just surpassed the 2 million-mile mark. “This program is very near and dear to our hearts as many drivers in our industry and at Transport America are veterans,” said Laura Rahier, director of enterprise student and driver relations and recruiting. “The goal is to honor an exemplary veteran driver from our fleet with a newly wrapped truck commemorating whichever branch of the military they served.” In addition to his newly designed truck wrap, he also received an award for 2 million accident-free miles. “The pairing of these two honorable achievements left no question in our mind as to who the recipient would be this time around,” Rahier said. “It has been a joy for all of us to watch him see his new truck for the first time and receive his award.” The company will be making a truck wrap for each branch of the

District 196 School Board to consider secondary-level course changes by Patty Dexter SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

Next school year, some high school students in the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District may be able to enroll in a new dinosaur paleontology and field methods course. That’s an example of one new course students can choose from if proposed tweaks and additions to middle school and high school course offerings get final School Board approval. Director of Teaching and Learning Steve Troen gave a presentation about the proposed changes for the 2019-20 school year to the School Board on Nov. 5. Board Chair Jackie Magnuson said the item will come back to the board for a vote on Dec. 10. “A number of new courses are proposed to be added, some courses will be dropped and many courses are restructured,” Troen said. According to Troen, each course must progress through a thorough

review process before approval. The process includes the involvement of teachers, principals, the teaching and learning department and review by the superintendent’s cabinet. The School Board is the final step in the approval process. Several factors shape the proposed course changes each year including academic content standards developed at the state level through the Minnesota Department of Education; college and career readiness; changes in world technology; specialized programs, and student interest and need, Troen said. Sometimes courses are slightly restructured or renamed to better reflect course content or course standards, Troen said. For college and career readiness, shifting trends in the career marketplace and the demands of post-secondary education can both have an impact. District 196 students have several chances to earn college credit while in school through College in the Schools,

Advanced Placement and dual-credit courses, Troen said. Troen said in terms of technology the growing demand in engineering and computer science has resulted in a corresponding shift in high school course offerings in recent years. “Both our high schools and middle schools have several strong existing courses related to technology, computer science and engineering,” he said. “New courses are being proposed for the 2019-20 school year.” Troen said specialized courses and student interests can yield evolving course offerings, while shifting student needs and interest can lead to some courses being dropped.

Opinion Typical midterm vote hides growing division in Minnesota A closer look at this month’s election results suggests that Minnesota is much in need of healing. In one respect, Minnesota voters reverted to form in the last election – or at least their history from the onset of the Great Depression until 9/11. In those midterm elections, the president’s party almost always lost, and such was the case in 2018. From 1930 to 1998, the gubernatorial candidate of the president’s party lost 16 of 18 midterm elections. During that same time frame, the president’s party also lost 10 of 13 midterm U.S. Senate elections. And since 1954, the president’s party has suffered a median loss of 15 seats in the Minnesota House of Representatives. That changed in 2002, following 9/11 the previous year and the death of Sen. Paul Wellstone in a plane crash 12 days before the election. Both Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton bucked the trend, winning four consecutive elections while their parties controlled the White House. In two of three midterm U.S. Senate elections since then, Republican Norm Coleman and DFLer Al Franken also won while the White House was occupied by their party. That changed this year, and it wasn’t close. With Republican Donald Trump as president, the DFL swept every statewide election on the ballot. It regained control of the Minnesota House of Representatives, gaining 18 seats. Barring recounts, 15 Republican incumbent state legislators lost their seats, 13 of them in the Twin Cities

ECM Editorial suburbs. Not a single DFL legislative incumbent lost, nor did the party lose any of the 15 open seats it previously held. Except for Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s re-election over Republican Jim Newberger, it wasn’t a landslide, but all the other DFL statewide candidates won handily. However, underneath what appears to be a return to a typical midterm election lie some disturbing trends that those just elected need to address. Like much of the nation, Minnesota is profoundly split and becoming more so. Minnesota has become as 19thcentury British statesman Benjamin Disraeli once described his country: “Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets.” Think that is too strong? Klobuchar was the only DFL statewide candidate to carry all eight congressional districts. Governor-elect Tim Walz carried five; Sen. Tina Smith, Secretary of State Steve Simon and State Auditorelect Julie Blaha four; and Attorney General-elect Keith Ellison only three. The difference was in Hennepin and Ramsey counties, and in particular in the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Without the vote margins from Hennepin and Ramsey, Klobuchar would

have been the only statewide DFL candidate to win. In the 4th Congressional District, which is mostly Ramsey County, all statewide DFL candidates received at least 60 percent of the vote. In the 5th Congressional District, which is mostly the city of Minneapolis, they all received over 70 percent of the vote. In the 16 legislative districts numbered from 59A up to 67B and which are located mostly in Minneapolis or St. Paul, every DFL legislative candidate received at least 70 percent of the vote and all but two were over 80 percent. In Greater Minnesota, meanwhile, the Republicans have become the dominant party except in college towns. It is no fluke that two of the few congressional districts that the Republicans picked up nationwide were in Greater Minnesota, nor is it surprising that the DFL gained two Twin Cities suburban districts in return. Although the 5th District remained with the DFL, Ilhan Omar replaced Keith Ellison. The last time Minnesota sent five freshmen to the U.S. House was in 1924. An example of the Republican strength outstate came in state Senate District 13 to replace Lt. Gov. Michelle Fischbach. The district, which is mostly eastern Stearns County outside of St. Cloud, was won by state Rep. Jeff Howe of Rockville over Stearns County Commissioner Joe Perske of Sartell. Between his own campaign and independent expenditures by political action committees, Perske had a spending advantage of more than $300,000. Howe still garnered 57 per-

cent of the vote. His victory gives the Republicans a one-vote majority in the Senate, the only obstacle preventing a complete DFL takeover of state government Of the 134 Minnesota House districts, 83 were won by a landslide, defined as the winner receiving at least 60 percent of the vote; 48 were DFLers and 35 were Republicans. The battle for control of the House was fought in the suburbs. Twelve of the 15 DFLers who beat Republican incumbents received less than 54 percent of the vote; five won with less than 51 percent. The difference appeared to be that the DFL has been fired up ever since Donald Trump surprisingly won the presidency. Rather than sulking, DFLers got back to the basics, finding committed candidates, raising more money and identifying supporters and getting them to the polls. As this division between rural and urban areas continues, it’s likely that the party that will win is the one that makes the greatest effort to bridge the gap. Playing only to one’s base will be insufficient. Governor-elect Tim Walz’s campaign theme was “One Minnesota.” Now it will be up to not only Walz, but to every elected Democrat and Republican, to make it so.

Reading Corps transforms lives To the editor: While students are gearing up for winter break, I’m looking ahead to the remainder of the school year. As a Reading Corps tutor at Lakeview Elementary, I’ve been amazed by the significant strides so many students are making in reading. I’ve seen children transform from shy, struggling students into confident learners. But many more need support. In fact, one-in-three Minnesota third-graders is not reading at grade level. I’m one of more than a thousand Minnesota Reading Corps tutors serving in schools and early learning centers as

part of this AmeriCorps service program. I began serving at Lakeview Elementary School three years ago because I was in search of a job opportunity that I could be passionate about. There’s nothing like watching a child’s eyes light up when they see their own progress. Students who struggled before Reading Corps are now some of the top readers in their class, with the confidence to raise their hand and engage in discussions. Reading Corps works.

Opinion Helping young people understand ‘in-demand’ jobs by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

One of the most important things adults — families and educators — can do is help young people match their skills, talents and interests with good jobs. Of course, we want schools to do much more than help students develop skills and knowledge for employment. But this is one of the most important things that schools can do. And this shouldn’t just be the responsibility of educators. Here are seven things to consider. 1. We’re moving toward Thanksgiving and the late December (Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa) break. This is a good time for families to talk with and encourage students, even as young as middle school, to think about possibilities. 2. Minnesota state law requires every student, beginning in the ninth grade, to develop a post-high-school plan. The law also requires families to be involved. Here’s what the law requires: “School districts, beginning in the 2013-2014 school year, must assist all students by no later than grade 9 to explore their educational, college, and career interests, aptitudes, and aspirations and develop a plan for a smooth and successful transition to postsecondary education or employment.”

Staff Columnist Joe Nathan Here’s what the law says about family involvement. The plans “must … be reviewed and revised at least annually by the student, the student’s parent or guardian, and the school or district to ensure that the student’s course-taking schedule keeps the student making adequate progress to meet state and local academic standards and high school graduation requirements and with a reasonable chance to succeed with employment or postsecondary education without the need to first complete remedial course work.” (Here’s a link to the law: https://bit.ly/2K6ENks.) Many families with high school students tell me they have not heard about this law. Whether your school has or hasn’t invited you to help, this is a good time to discuss student plans. 3. The state of Minnesota has great resources to help young people understand future job possibilities. The Min-

nesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, for example, has a short, very readable blog about high-wage, high-demand jobs (https:// bit.ly/2ziQpwX). It says that in the metro area, “Professional, scientific and technical services” is one of the largest industries in the Twin Cities, accounting for nearly 125,000 jobs and 10,472 businesses. This department also has a tool showing “occupations in demand” for every region in the state (https://mn.gov/deed/ data/data-tools/oid/). Some of these jobs require a four-year degree. Others are available to those who have a postsecondary certificate or twoyear degree. 4. Minnesota Department of Education has posted materials that can help young people match their interests and possible jobs/careers. You can find them here: https://education.mn.gov/MDE/ dse/ccs/. 5. Some high schools are developing internship opportunities. These are not necessarily jobs in, for example, fast food restaurants. They are opportunities to explore careers and earn academic credit. Students should check to see if this option is available. 6. Minnesota allows high school students to earn free college credits in ap-

plied, technical and academic areas. Students can start doing this in many high schools in ninth grade, and on college campuses or online in the 10th grade. With the right encouragement, nearly every student will take at least one of these courses before graduating from high school. More information: http://readysetgo.state.mn.us/RSG/index.html. 7. Finally, this is a great time for young people to call people who have jobs that may interest them and ask for an interview. Most organizations, whether for profit or nonprofit, slow down in late December. While some people go on vacation, others remain. And many business and government leaders have told me they would welcome the chance to talk with students about job prospects. Holidays are a great time to relax and enjoy family. They also can be an excellent time to help young people think about their futures.

Tutors work with students daily in more than 700 elementary schools and preschools across the state, including in Lakeville. As a result of this individualized attention and encouragement, most students read at their grade level within one year. Tutors receive extensive training and support from on-site staff. We earn a living allowance, as well as a financial award for education or student loans, plus health care and child care assistance benefits, and opportunities to network and grow professionally.

Chamber hands out Business Excellence Awards Annual event recognizes businesses, professionals, volunteers The Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce had its annual Business Excellence Awards on Friday, Nov. 9, at the Radisson Blu at the Mall of America. The annual event recognized local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals for their outstanding work and impact they have on the community in the past year. “So many businesses and individuals do such great things for this community without seeking attention for themselves,” said Maureen Scallen Failor, chamber president. “The awards are our chance to highlight them and to show our gratitude to them for helping make Dakota County a great place to work and live. It is inspiring to learn more about each winner and they collectively show the strength and character of this community in a very unique and personal way.” Scallen Failor said it is rare that these individuals, companies, and organizations get the recognition that they truly deserve. The celebration is a way to raise awareness of these accomplishments, help the community learn more about the impact individuals are having, and celebrate the success of key local for-profit and nonprofits, according to the chamber.

SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

If one school wins half of the events in the state swimming and diving finals, it stands to reason that school will be difficult to beat in the team competition. And so it was at the Class AA girls finals last Friday, where Edina won six of the 12 events and took the team championship by 134 points. The state championship was the third in a row for Edina and the ninth consecutive for a Lake Conference team. Lake Conference teams took the top four spots in the state finals at the University of Minnesota, with Minnetonka, Wayzata and Eden Prairie finishing second through fourth. Nine South Suburban Conference teams scored points at state, led by Eagan, which placed seventh, and ninth-place Prior Lake.

Eagan Wildcat swimmers reached the championship finals in six events last Friday, with their top finishes fifth places by senior Jenna Joerger in the 200 individual medley and junior Lara Mitchell in the 100 backstroke. Joerger swam the 200 IM final in 2 minutes, 6.75 seconds. Mitchell’s finals time in the backstroke was 56.74. Eagan senior Jen Lenertz medaled in two events, taking sixth in the 200 freestyle in 1:53.70 and

Humboldt halts Dakota United’s back-to-back bid PI Division soccer title game down to the wire by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE

St. Paul Humboldt’s marathon men won the state PI (physical impairments) Division championship at the state adapted soccer tournament, edging defending champion Dakota United 5-4 in the final Saturday at Stillwater High School. Humboldt didn’t have any substitutes, playing the entire season with five players. Adapted soccer rules allow teams to use as many as seven at a time provided two of them are wheelchair players. Humboldt didn’t have wheelchair players, so the most it could have on the floor was five. But it was those five for every minute of every game because Humboldt (14-1) had no bench. Dakota United (10-5) jumped in front 2-0 in the first 8 minutes, 15 seconds, with ninth-grader Samuel Gerten scoring both goals. Humboldt, however, rallied to take a 3-2 lead into halftime. Dakota United’s Cooper Wilson scored with 11:50 remaining, assisted by eighth-grader Fiona Sitzmann, to tie the game 3-3. After Humboldt took another one-goal lead, Dakota United senior Giovanna Ayres tied it again, with Wilson assisting. Humboldt senior Moustaphe Mouhoumed scored the game-winner

CI Division Burnsville/Farmington/Lakeville won one of three games at the state CI (cognitive impairments) Division tournament, also held last weekend at Stillwater High School. The Blazing Cats (11-3) lost to eventual champion St. Cloud 4-3 in overtime in Friday’s quarterfinals, defeated Mounds View/Irondale/ Roseville 9-0 in the consolation semifinals, then lost to White Bear Lake 5-4 in the consolation championship game Saturday afternoon. The Blazing Cats trailed St. Cloud 2-0 at halftime before scoring all three of their goals in the second half. Sophomore Natalya Rawley scored twice and senior Lucas Alexander had the other Burnsville/Farmington/Lakeville goal.

STEM, from 1A Part of the day, students heard from female engineers and scientists about their education and careers. “We wanted our female students to have an opportunity to see themselves represented in STEM fields,” Jensen said. “Women continue be under represented in STEM careers and having mentors and female examples can have a positive effect on a student’s inspiration and awareness.” Students then broke into several classes designed to give them an experience related to the engineering design process through a variety of topics including coding, engineering and designing challenges. One challenge was to build a bridge that would hold 21 elephants. Others focused on wind turbines, chemical engineering and bumper cars. In the chemical engineering class, students were introduced Delmoro, from 1A and about 150 large, illuminated snowflakes — most with sponsors who get their name on a small banner below — will brighten Burnsville Parkway from Interstate 35W to Eagle Ridge Drive, Nicollet Avenue from Highway 13 to 134th Street, and Travelers Trail from Nicollet to Eagle Ridge. Nicollet Commons Park is also decked out. Delmoro and his late wife, Linda, moved to Burnsville 44 years ago. Their house on West Manor Boulevard, where Ed still lives and hosted 18 family members for Thanksgiving, is a saltbox colonial, reminiscent of the New England-style homes in Hudson, Ohio, where he grew up. Twelve years after Linda’s death from ALS, Ed said it was part of their “love story” that he could care for her at home. Two decades ago she prodded him into action when Ed, by then retired, complained that BurnsEnrollment, from 1A projection of 7,598. Two elementary schools, Rahn and Sioux Trail, have dipped below 200 students in the Oct. 1 count, according to the report. The district had K-six elementary schools before changing grade configurations in 2016-17. Miller commented on the diversity of the student body relative to the falling enrollment. Numbers of nonwhite students have been relatively stable

teachers continuously look for avenues to show students connections between arts and science. Jensen said as an example, students in second grade study Georgia O’Keefe while learning about plant and flower structures. “Other times we integrate through the medium of art – for example first-grade students collected and studied soil from different parts of our school yard, then used the soil we collected in a piece of art,” Jensen said. “Sometimes technology is the bridge between the two Photo submitted topics – in fourth grade The annual STEM day at Glacier Hills Elementary exposes students to a students used computavariety of topics and challenges. tional thinking to create a radial design of to the chemical composition of cussing what ingredient in the two different regular polymers and then tried to mix recipe made the best slime. polygons that was then printed it into slime.

ville was bereft of traditions like his hometown had. “Linda would sit right there and I’d be here and I’d be complaining: ‘Burnsville doesn’t even have lights up — they don’t do anything for Christmas,’ ” Delmoro said. “And one night she laid her book down and looked at me and said, ‘Well, are you getting involved, or are we moving?’ ” Already friends with Mayor Elizabeth Kautz and her late husband, David, who lived across the street, Ed got in on the ground floor of the Heart of the City Steering Committee, whose original plans for streetscape beautification along Burnsville Parkway and Nicollet Avenue grew into a fullblown redevelopment, and the Burnsville Community Foundation, which sponsors public art and amenities and on whose board he still serves. The Heart of the City committee was interested in holiday lighting but in recent years, he said. “It’s really the decline of the white demographic that is driving the overall decline,” he said. The percentage of white students in the Oct. 1 count has dropped from 50.7 in 2014 to 39.1, according to the district. Comparing those same years, the percentage of black students has risen from 19.8 to 26.7, and Hispanic students from 14.8 to 18.9. A net outflow of students from the district,

hesitant to take on the fundraising, Delmoro said. Declaring himself a salesman who was used to rejection, he asked to do it himself. “And they said if you want to, try it,” said Delmoro, who had led efforts to holiday-decorate the historic Soo Line clock tower in downtown Minneapolis. Burnsville’s first winter lighting in 1998 was limited to a single large pine tree at the Nicollet Avenue entrance to Civic Center Park. With completion of the two streetscape projects, Burnsville Parkway in 1999 and Nicollet Avenue in 2000, Delmoro really went to town. In 2000 he got the idea to buttress the minilights with snowflakes, for which he said the foundation paid a big advance. “I hadn’t sold one, and the foundation fronted the money and I paid them back,” Delmoro said. For years he has delivered annual $35,000 checks from the foundawhich has concerned officials, continues. During the 2017-18 school year, 1,942 students living in District 191 attended other public school districts, compared with the 566 students from other districts who enrolled into 191. Neighboring Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan District 196 was the top destination, attracting 968 students, followed by Prior Lake-Savage District 719, with 487. Another 337 students

tion to the city, which took on the lighting contract because the lights are on city property. More than $600,000 has been raised for lighting over two decades, Delmoro said. “Our people care about this community and they step up — people like Ed Delmoro,” said Mayor Kautz, who started the foundation. “And he has stayed engaged this whole time. That’s unheard of. I’m grateful to Ed and his dedication to doing this and wanting to make sure it continues to be successful.” The minilights cost about $25,000 a year and the snowflakes only $10,000, but they’ve assumed a special importance. A $250 donation is good for three years of sponsorship, including the banner with the donor’s name. “People are very possessive of their snowflake that they’ve adopted,” Delmoro said. “They go there with their families, they take pictures with attended charter schools, and 84 more paid tuition to attend other districts, including Intermediate School District 917, according to the report. A new charter school that opened within the district this year claimed about 60 students, mostly from Sky Oaks and Hidden Valley elementaries, according to Amoroso.

Jensen said there’s been a shift in the job market toward STEM-related careers and there’s a shortage of trained workers. “While our work at Glacier Hills attempts to reflect current trends toward getting students aware of STEM careers and topics, we also see that STEM activities and learning units are an opportunity to also build skills of persistence, communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity – skills that would help students be successful in a variety of career paths,” Jensen said. The event was open to all students at Glacier Hills attending with an adult, as adults were expected to stay and participate. Andy Rogers can be reached at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

They use them on Christmas cards. “It’s become a real community tradition, and with 20 years, there’s a whole generation, including my two 21-year-old granddaughters, that doesn’t ever remember Burnsville without the lighting.” Delmoro’s grandson, Matthew, has helped with the fundraising in recent years but is now sidelined by a new job. Delmoro gets help with the invoicing from foundation Trea-

surer Adam Decknatel. Otherwise, it’s still his baby, and he doesn’t plan to stop. “I’m excited as anybody on Wednesday night when we throw that switch,” he said. “I’m excited looking at the crowed, particularly seeing the young children that are so excited about it. It’s worth it.” John Gessner can be reached at john.gessner@ecm-inc. com or 952-846-2031.
