The Future of Education in Dakota County
Last week three superintendents from Dakota County school districts, Dr. Theresa Battle, Mary Kreger, and Peter Olson-Skog, shared their perspectives during the Public Affairs Breakfast on how the education model is changing.
COVID brought on challenges, and surprisingly brought forth many positives affecting students, teachers, and the community. They reviewed statistical information about the student population; one chart outlined the diversity of the region showing White 62.4%, Hispanics or Latino 13.2%, Black or African American 11.2%, Two or More Races 6.5%, Asian 6%, American Indian or Alaskan Native .5%, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander .1%. The group participated in an exercise discussing their own high school experiences.
