Acceleration 2020
Our roadmap to success is called Acceleration 2020. This plan
moves our system in new directions, particularly by moving real power to each
school. Everything about this plan accelerates student achievement. We are
committed to the proposition that all children can learn more, achieve more and
be more. Our plan is constructive, sensible, positive and ground breaking.
Our plan requires greater expectations of everyone: our parents
and families, our MPS leaders and teachers, our students and graduates. Our
success depends on the active engagement of everyone affected and interested in
the present and future of MPS.
With this strategic plan, we
are taking action by accelerating a shift in funding, priorities and programs
systemwide to improve outcomes for students and families. Changes include:
- School autonomy
- Student-based
allocation system
- New academic focus areas
- 5-8-10 scorecard
On the meeting agenda there
will be a discussion and questions to learn more about change: Student-based
allocation system.

predictable, while also differentiating funding to schools based on
specific student needs and aligning funding with strategic priorities. link

for WSF: A large proportion of the funds in MPS are
allocated to schools on a per-pupil basis. link
