See http://www.startribune.com/news/metro/elections/returns/skumsm.html Is the plan to replace profiles of the school board candidates written by the candidates with mini-profiles which Strib reporter Allie Shah is writing? -Doug Mann Minneapolis School Board Candidate http://educationright.tripod.com TEXT OF UPDATED ESSAY FOR STRIB VOTERS GUIDE by Doug Mann, Minneapolis School Board Candidate [published at Strib web site 10/17/2002, deleted 10/19/2002] Most parents want a public school education that maximizes their children's intellectual development and opportunities for employment and education after high school. However, only a small minority of students in the Minneapolis Public Schools get that kind of education. In order to make a quality public education accessible to all on an equal basis, we must: 1) Hold schools accountable: the district can make progress toward ‘closing the gap;’ 2) Desegregate inexperienced teachers, who are now assigned primarily to high poverty schools; 3) Base Instruction on individualized educational planning and a college-bound curriculum, not ‘ability-grouping’ / tracking. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:mpls@;mnforum.org Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
