The Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Academic Core and Instruction Department staff is responsible for all matters pertinent to student academic progress and therefore must take responsibility for the wretched academic proficiency rates for the student population as a whole and for each demographic group in particular.
With that observation in view, first peruse the abysmal proficiency rates of students in the Minneapolis Public Schools, then consider the particular MPS Academic Core and Instruction staff who must take responsibility for these results.
