Brian Goranson:
“Brian Goranson, an award-winning actor who’s now principal at St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts, a chartered public school, told legislators on March 4 that the school has both traditionally trained academic teachers and more than 50 part-time, working professional artists who demonstrated their teaching ability. He testified, “(Using) working professionals is both logical and integral to the career success of our students.”
