Curriculum and Instruction
Policy 6200
Among
the major policies of the Minneapolis Public Schools is Curriculum and
Instruction Policy 6200, which provides the official basis for the development
of curriculum at the district. This
policy makes reference to a District
Curriculum Advisory Committee, with which the
superintendent is supposed to work to develop and review local academic
standards, student achievement goals and measures, assessments, and program
evaluations.
