Committee Assignments for Members of the Minneapolis Public Schools Board of Education

 

This article continues with the strictly factual portion of this multi-article series, with analysis and comments to follow in subsequent blog entries.

Members of the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Board of Education are each paid $20,000 per year, with expectations that they attend one monthly regular meeting of the board (typically held the second Tuesday of each month), one monthly meeting of the Committee of the Whole (typically held on the third or fourth Tuesday of each month), and the meetings of any committees for which they have indicated interest and been assigned;  additionally board members attend ad hoc and specially called meetings, communicate with the superintendent and central office staff, and respond to concerns of the community members whom they represent.

 

Key committee assignments for the MPS Board of Education are those for finance and policy;  there are in addition a number of other committees, with composition given as follows:
