Minneapolis Board of Education - Finance Committee
Minneapolis Board of Education1250 W Broadway Ave, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55411 Minneapolis, MN 55411 (Directions)
The Finance Committee discussed its priorities for the impending budget cuts while staff mainly listened. The big three priorities for the board seemed to be retaining assistant principals, at least at some schools, keeping magnet school supervisors at the school level rather than have them operate out of a central location, and maintaining the fifth grade music program.
