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.

I have added my notes and summary from tonight's town hall with Minneapolis Northside school board member KerryJo Felder to the end of my post: andyrowell.net/andy_rowell/20…

As expected the school board for the Minneapolis Public Schools passed the Comprehensive District Design tonight 6-3. I think the fall of 2021 will be a huge mess with all sixty schools starting over. But a number of us tried to speak up and warn them.
