Horner: K-12 reform “essential”

Over the noon hour Independence Party gubernatorial candidate Tom Horner was at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey Institute, delivering a speech about education reform and then answering questions on the topic.

Horner called for more spending on early childhood education, and more accountability for students, teachers and administrators. Horner said the current model for public education is out-of-date and not as effective as it should be.

MPR will broadcast Horner's entire conversation with Larry Jacobs tomorrow at noon on Midday, but if you want to hear it sooner here it is.
