Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness
The Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness bill strives to ensure every school district in the state is making strides to increase student performance.
Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness Goals
During the 2024 session, the Minnesota Legislature renamed World's Best Work Force (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 took effect as of the 2024-25 school year strategic plans and Fall 2025 annual summary report. CACR plans will address the following goals:
- All children are ready for school.
- All racial and economic achievement gaps between students are closed.
- All students are ready for career and college.
- All students graduate from high school.
- Prepare students to be lifelong learners.
Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness Plan
A CACR strategic plan is a multi-year, detailed document that illustrates how a district will execute its goals or initiatives concerning the CACR goals. In Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District the success of each plan will be measured by:
- School readiness assessments
- State and local assessments
- Graduation rates
- College entrance exams
- Postsecondary outcomes
Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness Annual Meeting
Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 120B.11, school districts are required to hold an annual meeting regarding progress made toward the Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness (CACR) goals. During the Annual Meeting, the District presents the goals and results, along with strategies and initiatives that the District engaged in to meet the goals.
