Tri-City United School District State Reporting

In accordance with 2013 Minnesota Statute, section 120B.11, a school board, at a public meeting, shall adopt a comprehensive, long-term strategic plan to support and improve teaching and learning that is aligned with creating the world’s best workforce. The school board must transmit an electronic summary of its annual report to the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Education each fall.

Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness Plan is focused on the goals of having all students meet school readiness goals and be ready to start kindergarten, having all third-grade students achieve grade-level literacy, closing the academic achievement gap between all subgroups (ethnic, special education, poverty), having all students graduate from high school, and having all students attain college and career preparedness.

The report summary must include:

• A summary of progress toward improving teaching and learning and striving for the world’s best workforce (specifically, progress toward closing the achievement gap); all students ready for kindergarten; all students in third grade achieving grade-level literacy; all students attaining career and college readiness before graduating from high school; and all students graduating from high school.
• Information about best practice strategies that were implemented and that are showing evidence of impacting closing the achievement gaps and working toward creating the world’s best workforce in Minnesota.
