Background Information

In light of Minnesota’s rapidly changing demographics, an examination of current desegregation policy is long overdue. Critique of the current policies, including the 2005 evaluation report from the Office of the Legislative Auditor, shows a need to clarify outcomes of the integration revenue program and identify measurable indicators of success.

The Minnesota School Integration Council is a statewide organization committed to equity and excellence for all. Minnesota School Integration Council (MSIC) exists to convene and advocate on all matters related to integration and educational equity in the state of Minnesota. With the knowledge and support of the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), MSIC is convening a statewide task force on school integration.

Task Force Membership

The task force consists of stakeholders interested in addressing school desegregation and integration policies, integration revenue uses, and the academic achievement gap among groups of students. Task force members were identified by MSIC and represent the diversity of Minnesota communities. Task force members do not receive compensation or reimbursement of expenses for service on the task force.
