NCREL's Policy Briefs Decentralization: Why, How, and Toward What Ends? Report 1, 1993 Pathways home page Contents Previous section ... Next section Minneapolis, MN Interview with Jan Witthuhn, Associate Superintendent, Research and Development, Minneapolis Public Schools The ultimate goal of restructuring and site-based management in the Minneapolis Public Schools is to improve student performance. Research shows that having strong family involvement correlates with increased student performance. Research also points out that if more people are involved in decision-making and planning programs, the more effective these efforts will be. In August 1988, when Robert Ferrara became superintendent, there was a focus on analyzing student performance data in new ways. This focus contributed to the movementtoward site-based management. In 1988-89, many teachers and principals in primary grades wanted more developmentally appropriate assessment and wanted the freedom to make decisions about instruction and assessment. Their requests also added to the impetus for site-based management. In September 1990, the Panasonic Foundation facilitated a meeting between the superintendent and the board of education that resulted in the school district's commitment to use site-based management to improve student outcomes. In July 1991, the board approved a "Statement of Direction and Goals for Comprehensive Restructuring" that solidified that commitment. In February 1992, the board accepted the district's current site-based management policy. The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers was a positive force for site-based management and pushed for joint discussions with the district and the administrator's union.

Animals in Science Frequently Asked Questions Links to Animal Sites Care of Classroom Pets Animals are used in science for many purposes. We study animals to learn about the animals themselves, and to learn about ourselves. The results of these studies are better health and well-being for both humans and animals. We may study animals by observation, or through experimentation, using the Scientific Method . Animals are used as models of a disease to find out which drugs are safe and effective against a disease. They are also used as a model of normal reactions to substances that may be harmful if ingested or contacted, so that we can use consumer products safely. Finally, animals are used to teach budding scientists and doctors how the body works. Animals used for these purposes are treated humanely. Several Federal agencies have established guidelines for humane care and use, and institutions using animals have their own set of rules and regulations, all geared toward minimizing discomfort to the animals, and ensuring that alternatives to animals are used whenever possible. About Minnesota AALAS The Minnesota Branch of the American Association for laboratory Animal Science Inc. was established in 1965 as an organization of laboratory animal professionals, including researchers, veterinarians, veterinary technicians and animal care technicians.

May 4, 2004 Ms. Maria Gomez, Assistant Commissioner Economic and Community Support Strategies Minnesota Department of Human Services 444 Lafayette Road St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 Dear Ms. Gomez: This is in response to the State of Minnesota’s March 8, 2004 request for a waiver of the definition of eligible foods at 7 CFR 271.2 of the Food Stamp Program regulations. The waiver would have prohibited the purchase of candy and soft drinks that are taxed under State law with food stamp benefits. We are denying the State’s waiver request for the reasons specified in the attached Waiver Response Outline. We applaud the State for recognizing the importance of healthy eating by food stamp recipients. However, we believe that supporting healthier food choices through nutrition education and promotion is preferable to the proposed mandate. We are committed to working with the State to develop new approaches to improving nutrition levels of food stamp recipients. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me or have a member of your staff contact Tim English at (312) 353-1533 or

Wain Executive Secretary Minnesota Board of Teaching 608 Capitol Square Building 550 Cedar Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 Re: OCR #05974018 Dear Ms. Wain: In reaching determinations on the complainant's allegations, OCR reviewed and analyzed documents pertinent to the issues of the complaint. OCR also conducted interviews with the complainant and a representative of the MDCFL. In addition, in February 1996, in OCR #05964011, a complaint with similar allegations was filed against the Board concerning the PPST. Pertinent information obtained by OCR with regard to its investigation of #05964011 was used in reaching determinations on the instant complaint, including an interview OCR conducted with representatives of Educational Testing Services (ETS) concerning the PPST. As a result of our investigation, OCR has made the following determinations. The complainant provided documentation of his disability, including a letter dated January 21, 1994, from his physician stating that he has a learning disability (dyslexia) and a letter date-stamped February 14, 1994, stating that he should be provided with test-taking accommodations, as follows: "1) "reader with extended time to read test questions [;] 2) scribe with extended time to assist him with essay questions." The complainant also provided a copy of an October 10, 1991, professional evaluation of his disability. OCR has determined that the complainant has a disability which substantially limits a major life activity, namely, learning.
