Ok, so this year there are four seats up for election/re-election on the MPLS Board of Education...I'm taking a poll...what do folks think are the top three issues for the Board of Education over the next year or so...
My feeling: 1. The Budget Crisis...the new school board members are going to have to be adept at re-creating the Public Schools into a non-profit model that may need to include grass-roots direct appeal fundraising to the parents and citizens of Minneapolis. 2. Addressing the needs of students of color and poor students...the school district CONTINUES to fail to meet the needs of and educate students of color and poor students. ignoring social factors that come to school with students does not allow all students to learn. 3. Continued education and training of teachers _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
