The Minnesota Legislature passed a law in May, and Governor Pawlenty signed this law, which authorizes the creation of a task force to develop recommendations for the future of Minnesota’s high school assessment and accountability system. The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) is leading this effort, along with The Assessment and Accountability Task Force. The task force is comprised of leaders from K-12 organizations, higher education institutions, businesses and other key stakeholders in Minnesota’s educational system. The group is co-chaired by the Director of Assessment at the MDE, Dirk Mattson, and the Exec. Director of the UofM College Readiness Consortium, Kent Pekel. DEADLINE FOR INPUT IT JULY 15!
