Minneapolis School District prepares new 3-year contract for Superintendent Ed Graff

Minneapolis Public Schools officials plan to ask Superintendent Ed Graff to stick around and are preparing a new three-year contract for him.

Graff, who's in his third year as the leader of the state's third-largest school system, has implemented a districtwide elementary literacy curriculum and pulled the district out of a multimillion dollar deficit. He also forged relationships with local leaders and helped pass a $30 million referendum that he said would help him execute his top priorities: literacy, equity, social and emotional learning, and support services for students. Soon, he will be signing off on the district's new strategic plan, which is still in the works.
