Article #2 in a Series >>>>> Dramatic Changes at the Minneapolis Public Schools

Reduction of Staff at the Minneapolis Department of Teaching and Learning 

Analysis of the current staff in the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Department of Teaching and Learning reveals that fully fourteen (14) staff members have departed since the end of the recent academic year 2021-2022.  This is a highly favorable development.  The MPS Department of Teaching and Learning is superfluous and ineffective;  with the retraining of teachers, the department could proceed into much-deserved oblivion.  The staff at the end of the recent academic year stood at 30 in number;  while some of the departures have been replaced, there nevertheless has been the welcome reduction to just 22 members at present.

The redirected mission of this department will now be to implement the academically substantive program of Interim Superintendent Rochelle Cox .

Current staff membership of the MPS Department of Teaching and Learning is as follows  (*indicates new staff members)  >>>>>
