WORLD'S BEST WORKFORCE/COMPREHENSIVE ACHIEVEMENT AND CIVIC READINESS REPORT
Under Minnesota Statutes, section 120B.11, school boards are to develop a World's Best Workforce (WBW) Annual Report and report summary for each school year. This summary documents the WBW student achievement goals that were established last year, the strategies and initiatives the district engaged in to meet the goals and the progress made on these goals. Districts post the reports on the district website and submit the summary report to MDE each year.
Goals of the WBW include the following areas:
All children are ready for school.
All third-graders can read at grade level.
All racial and economic achievement gaps between students are closed.
All students are ready for career and college.
All students graduate from high school
What is Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness?
During the 2024 session, the Minnesota Legislature renamed WBWF to Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness (CACR). This new name emphasizes dual roles for the goals set forth in district plans—supporting students with academic achievement within their pre-K through 12 experience as well as preparing them to be active members of their community after graduation. This change will take effect as of the 2024-25 school year strategic plans and Fall 2025 annual summary report.
CACR plans will address the four WBWF goals above as well as one additional goal:
Prepare students to be lifelong learners.
