Those Most Responsible for Abysmal Student Academic Proficiency Rates at the Minneapolis Public Schools:

 

Office of Latine Student Achievement

                                    

The Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Office of Latine 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 Latine students students in the Minneapolis Public Schools, then consider the particular MPS Office of Latine Student Achievement staff who must take responsibility for these results.
