New Leadership Structure at the Minneapolis Public Schools

Note to my readers  >>>>>  The article that you are reading is the second that I have posted on my blog since my return from a six-week sojourn in Dallas attending to various matters in the aftermath of my 96 year-old mother's death.  Scroll on down to read the article that I posted yesterday (Monday, 13 November 2017), summarizing the program needed to attain excellence at the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) and commenting on the lack of grasp that even interested people have on the nature of the change needed.  The  following information constitutes the significantly new leadership structure that MPS Superintendent Ed Graff now has in place.  In a looming article I will have a bevy of comments to make as to the likelihood of these designated leaders designing and implementing a program to achieve educational excellence in the Minneapolis Public Schools.
