Minneapolis Public Schools is proposing to turn upside down all 60 schools in the district with its Comprehensive District Design. I'm asking them to not do this to 31,000 students without a coherent plan. The board vote is May 12. @MPS_News @KidsFirstMPLS andyrowell.net/andy_rowell/20…
You can leave a 200-word written message and / or leave a 2 minute voicemail for the May 12th meeting. They are voting on the plan at that meeting.

The plan is to be voted on by the school board May 12th. This panel of people of color argue the plan is poorly thought out.
The principles behind the Comprehensive District Design are to
1. Save busing costs.
2. Reduce the number of schools that are over 86% students of color to under that line.
3. Close no schools.
So last August Minneapolis Public Schools hired a logistics company to model how to do this. In November, the District presented maps that placed magnet schools in the center of the city and made the rest of the schools neighborhood schools with radically new boundaries.
