ELKHART LAKE, WI (WHBL) - State Superintendent Tony Evers says closing the achievement gap between white and minority students is a major issue for the state.
Speaking in Elkhart Lake Monday during a council on rural schools, Evers says his department has a taskforce in place to research the matter. While he and others on the council are proud of work done at rural schools to help students get high ACT scores and college credits, he says it is all for nothing if the state has the highest achievement gap in the country.
Evers believes all schools both urban and rural based need to be ready to handle this since there must be an influx of new students from outside the state to fill all the jobs in Wisconsin’s future work force.
