| At Issue: | Our Position: | Status: |
| Saint Paul Public Schools "Strong Schools, Strong Communities" three-year strategic plan to improve education for all students. |
The SPPS plan inadequately addresses our very appropriate concerns about increasing student achievement and maintaining desegregation in schools, based on an examination of the test scores data. See also The Schott Report on Public Education and Black Males. |
The Saint Paul NAACP and the African American Leadership Council issued a joint position statement in opposition to the plan. We laid out our issues and asked on March 15 that the School Board table their vote until our concerns are addressed. The School Board voted unanimously to approve the plan.
