Subject:
Approval of Achievement and Integration Plan 2022-25
Background:
The purpose of the Achievement and Integration (A&I) for Minnesota program is to “pursue racial and economic integration, increase student achievement, create equitable educational opportunities, and reduce academic disparities based on students' diverse racial, ethnic, and economic backgrounds in Minnesota public schools.”
Mankato Area Public Schools is eligible to receive A&I funding from the Minnesota Department of Education as a racially isolated school district where the enrollment of our protected-class students district wide is more than 20 percent, compared to the number of protected-class students in one of our neighboring adjoining districts.
A new 3-year plan is required by MDE to be approved by the Board for Mankato Area Public Schools to receive A&I funding in the 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2024-25 school years.
