Why is Minnesota focused on this idea? • For Minnesota to be competitive, we must have students who are college and career ready, students who are poised to lead the state’s workforce. This is important for a number of reasons: • Our population is aging. • Seventy percent (70%) of jobs will require more than a high school diploma by 2018. • We don’t have qualified candidates to fill many good-paying jobs. • The fastest growing segment of our future workforce is students of color, and they currently have the state’s lowest graduation rate. • Minnesota has one of the worst black-white achievement gaps in the country. • (Minnesota Department of Education)
What do Minnesota school boards need to do? • School boards in each district across the state must: • Establish an Advisory Committee that includes members that reflect the diversity of the district and its schools, • Provide a public hearing of the district’s Worlds Best Workforce Plan. • District leaders will: • Post an annual report on their progress, • Articulate an implementation plan, • Submit a summary report to the Minnesota Department of Education. • (Minnesota Department of Education)
