Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Office of Black Student Achievement Must Take Responsibility for Wretched Academic Proficiency Rates of MPS African American Students

The Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Office of Black Student Achievement staff is responsible for the academic progress of African American Students and therefore must take responsibility for the wretched academic proficiency rates for this MPS demographic student group.

With that observation in view, first peruse the abysmal proficiency rates of African American students in the Minneapolis Public Schools, then consider the particular MPS Office of Black Student Achievement staff who must take responsibility for these results.
