Education Minnesota task force to focus on recommendations for ESP pension improvements
During the 2025 legislative session, Education Minnesota members successfully advocated for much-needed pension improvements for teachers, creating an enhanced career rule for teachers who are at least 60 years of age and have at least 30 years of service in public schools. However, these pension improvements only applied to teachers who are eligible for a pension through TRA—which does not include education support professionals, who have historically been underpaid and remain some of the lowest-paid public school employees in Minnesota.
