Article #2
A Comparison of Student Academic Proficiency
Levels
During Graff’s Tenures in Anchorage (Alaska)
and Minneapolis
In
this article I examine the record of Ed Graff during his tenure in Anchorage,
Alaska, then proceed to compare that record with the record that Graff has
established in his two years and seven months as superintendent of the
Minneapolis Public Schools.
As
in Article #1, I offer my readers strictly objective information, challenging
them to consider why I would examine the record provided and recommend strongly
against reappointment. Please now
continue your examination of the facts pertinent to the record of Minneapolis
Public Schools (MPS) Superintendent Ed Graff by reviewing this brief summary of
student academic proficiency levels for a salient year (2014-2015) in Graff’s
three-year term in Anchorage, Alaska.
Proceed then to a summary of student academic proficiency levels for the
last five academic years in the Minneapolis Public Schools. Understand that academic years 2016-2017 and
2017-2018 represent the first two years of three (current academic year
2018-2019 is the third) covering the term of Graff’s first contract.
