The memorandum summarizes the renewal of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Minneapolis Public Schools district and the Metropolitan Urban Indian Directors Board of Education. The original 2006 MOA aimed to improve outcomes for American Indian students. A renewal process involved committees to research best practices, review data, and engage the community. The new MOA establishes three indigenous best practice school sites and outlines commitments to professional development, community collaboration, communication, and mutual accountability through academic metrics and annual reporting.
