This task force is inviting interested individuals to share their thoughts on some of the key the issues the task force will address over the next seven months. 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.saa.umn.edu/?q=ub/survey/mn_assessment"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Your input is requested!&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the fall of 2009, the task force will release and seek feedback on a set of recommendations for the next generation of Minnesota’s high school assessment and accountability system. The task force will present its final recommendations to the Commissioner of Education and the legislature before the end of December, 2009. </description><pubDate>6/18/2009 4:15:52 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>National Civic Summit</title><link>http://www.parentsunited.org/090715.html </link><description>Minneapolis Hilton.
