New Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Superintendent Lisa Sayles-Adams continues to demonstrate that she is the typical education establishment functionary, without the imagination to oversee the major changes needed to achieve the necessary overhaul of preK-12 education. She herself has unimpressive academic credentials, having received no graduate degree in a key academic discipline (e.g., mathematics, physics, history, government, economics, English or world literature) most important for mastery by preK-12 students.
Now, Sayles-Adams has appointed as new MPS Senior Academic Officer a mediocrity similar in training to herself.
Note that this new MPS officer, Tia Clasen, has the following insubstantial academic credentials, with no degree at either the undergraduate or graduate level in a key academic discipline:
