Minneapolis Board of Education - Special Business Meeting
Minneapolis Board of EducationRemote
- After a lengthy discussion about picking a topic for the next EDIA study, the board narrowed their interests down to two topics: literacy and site councils. The staff at the district annually do one in depth study per year.
- Staff said that if the board picked a topic at this meeting, they could begin research over the summer.
- The board will vote on the topic at its August meeting.
- The board heard a presentation on a new tech levy that will be put before the voters this fall. The levy will raise $20 million for technical purchases, allowing those operating funds that had been used for tech to be used for academic and other spending.
