The Association of Metropolitan School Districts is sponsoring a gubernatorial debate Friday, focused exclusively on education issues.

The event is scheduled for 8:00 a.m., at the TIES building, 1667 Snelling Avenue North in St. Paul. The association's executive director, Scott Croonquist, said all three major party candidates (Mark Dayton, Tom Emmer and Tom Horner) are confirmed.

A gubernatorial debate focused on health care issues is scheduled Wednesday at St. Joseph's Hospital in St. Paul, but DFLer Dayton cannot attend due to a previous speaking commitment.

I'm thrilled at the prospect of the candidates actually talking about something other than taxes for once. Is this event open to the public? Or will it be broadcast?

Thanks, MPR, for the heads up!
