How the Reader May Discover the Full Fraudulence of The
Regional Centers of Excellence (RCEs)
Readers may contact staff at these Regional Centers of Excellence to inquire how much they have improved the schools of Minnesota, testing my assertion that they have not improved and cannot improve student proficiency to make any aggregate difference whatsoever:

My assertion that you may test by calling one or all of these Centers is as follows:
These Regional Centers of Excellence, six in number, with approximately 42 total staff members and designation of the Minneapolis and St. Paul public schools systems as their own RCEs, have no capacity to improve education in Minnesota by lifting overall achievement or addressing the particular injustices perpetrated on students on free and reduced price lunch or student populations bearing the bruises of history.
This is a salient example of the kind of hoax perpetrated decade after decade on the students of Minnesota by the Minnesota Department of Education.
Soon after the Minnesota Department of Education presented its North Star Accountability
Systems, the Department announced results of Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) in math and reading for the 2017-2018 academic year. Just 60 percent of Minnesota students were proficient in mathematics, the same figure as that for 2016-2017; for reading the comparable figures were 59 percent in academic year 2016-2017 and 57 percent in 2017-2018,a two percentage point decline.
In the Minneapolis Public Schools, reading proficiency rose a bit over those two academic years, from 43 percent to 45 percent, with math proficiency flat at 42 percent. In that school district, one-third of graduates who matriculate at colleges and universities need remedial instruction. And most graduates walk across the stage to claim a piece of paper that is a diploma in name only, so deficient are they in key knowledge and skill sets in mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, history, government, economics, quality literature, English composition, and the fine, vocational, and technological arts.
The North Star Accountability System has no chance to improve basic skills proficiency or to induce local districts to design knowledge-intensive, skill-replete curriculum. The Minnesota Department of Education must be identified and called to account for maintaining the sea of corruption that defines the MDE inept bureaucracy.
