Mission:
MFPS engages Minneapolis families in collective and collaborative action to
create the public schools that our children, educators, and city need and
deserve.
Vision: A
fully funded and well-resourced Minneapolis Public Schools that meets the
diverse needs of our students, supports and respects our educators, and is
publicly funded, governed, and accountable.
Guiding Values:
Public
education is a cornerstone of democracy. Schools should be fully resourced and
publicly funded, controlled, and accountable.
Every
child has a right to a high-quality public education. A strong public school
system is a liberatory and antiracist project.
Educators—which
we consider as all adults working in our schools—have the right to collective
bargaining and striking to improve their working conditions, which are also the
learning conditions for our children. What’s good for educators is good for our
children and vice versa.
Families
should have a strong voice in the democratic governance of our public schools.
What’s
happening in our public schools, both the good and the bad, reflects what’s
happening in our city and society. Creating the schools we truly need will
require addressing the needs confronting our communities outside our schools as
well.
