ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — In a story Feb. 19 about a proposal to repeal a law requiring Minnesota teachers to pass certain tests to be licensed, The Associated Press erroneously attributed to Pillager High School Principal Scott Doss a paraphrased statement that his small rural district struggles to recruit talented people for teaching jobs. State Sen. Kevin Dahle, DFL-Northfield and the sponsor of the proposed repeal, said Department of Education research has shown teacher recruiting is particularly difficult in more rural parts of the state.
