Apply to Supt. June 30 deadline. The State Board of Education gave its final approval to the Minnesota Graduation Standards on May 11, 1998. It is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. We have the opportunity to revitalize education, to provide a platform for students to strive for greatness and to have a concrete record of their achievements.
Great change takes great leadership.
Throughout this effort the state has been providing us with unprecedented leadership. Let us not turn aside at our moment of triumph. The rest of the country is watching. Thanks to your support and the hard work by so many individuals all over Minnesota, we can now take the next step by continuing to work together to fully implement the Profile of Learning as well as the Basic Standards beginning with the class of 2002 and thereafter. Bids will be accepted on all of the above until Wednesday, June 3.
