Here’s the scoop for the week

We want You to Share your Expertise with our Colleagues at the Fall Conference!

In Improving Schools from Within, author Roland Barth asserted that those closest to the work are best positioned to know what needs to be improved and how to do it. That reminds me of your expertise in school improvement and many other topics affecting our school districts. 

Please consider submitting a proposal to present at the MASA Fall Conference on October 9 or 10 in Duluth.

MDE “Landing Page” for Guidance with Implementing New Legislation

MDE released this information last week you may find useful: 

“MDE Guidance Available on 2023 Session Webpage

MDE has created a one-stop shop for the most up-to-date information on the implementation of the 2023 omnibus K-12 and early learning education bills. The 2023 session landing page serves as a central hub for communication, resources, training opportunities and guidance issued by the Department of Education related to the recently enacted legislation. Content will continue to be added as it is produced.”
