Important Upcoming Events Pertinent to the Selection of a New Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools

All of my readers please be aware that the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Board of Education is currently in the final stage of the selection process for the new Superintendent of MPS.  The candidates who emerged as finalists are Michael Goar (now presiding as Interim Superintendent of MPS);  Sergio Paez (former superintendent of public schools in Holyoke, Massachusetts---  and currently a consultant to the school district in Holyoke);  and Charles Foust, an assistant superintendent focused on academic progress of middle school students in the Houston (Texas) Independent School District.


These candidates will be appearing today (Wednesday, 2 December 2015) from 6:30 until 8:30 PM at a community reception at Webster Elementary (located at 425 5th Street NE in Minneapolis) to meet and answer questions from parents, students, MPS teachers & staff, and other community members. 


Tomorrow (Thursday, 3 December 2015) members of the MPS Board of Education will be interviewing the candidates at the central office building of MPS located at 1250 West Broadway.  The interviews will take place between 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM, then there will be a Public Comment time at 5:30 PM for community members to express views as to the selection of the new Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools---  and only on this matter of selection of the new Superintendent. 


Members of the school board will decide the matter of the new Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools on Monday, 7 December 2015.


Please scroll down for the many articles that I have recently posted giving my views on matters relevant to the future of the Minneapolis Public Schools and pertinent to the selection of the Superintendent of MPS, and be aware that some time after the interviews and public comments on Thursday, 3 December 2015, and before the school board makes its decision on Monday, 7 December 2015, I will post an article on this blog indicating my recommendation as to which candidate would best serve as the new Superintendent.


So please be aware of these important meetings, and of my forthcoming comments on selection of the new Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools---  and the reasoning behind my recommendation.
