About Erin Preese
EDUCATOR
Erin is a teacher at an elementary school in Lakeville and is proud to send her own children to Lakeville Public Schools. She knows that our excellent public schools draw new families to Lakeville, keep our property values high, help our children succeed, and make Lakeville an outstanding city for families.
MOM
Erin believes that all children should have access to high quality public schools and should be able to grow up in a safe and healthy community. Erin understands the concerns that working families deal with on a day to day basis, and these concerns will be at the front of her mind in the legislature.
ACTIVIST
Erin has served as a leader for the non-partisan gun violence prevention organization, Moms Demand Action, at the local and state level for the past four years. She understands how to build relationships across party lines and how to navigate complicated issues to find common sense solutions.
Issues
For years, the federal and state government have not met their obligation to pay for special education services. This has forced schools across the state to pull money out of the general budget to fill this funding gap. In Lakeville, this adds up to 12.5 million dollars every school year, which requires the district to cut student services and drives up class sizes. The funding gap has also meant that the school district has had to ask voters to pass several school levies, which increases the tax burden on homeowners and local businesses. It is time for the state to fully fund public schools.
