ISD 277 Westonka Public Schools Local World's Best Workforce Plan

  • The World's Best Workforce (WBWF) Plan was developed in 2013 (Minnesota Statutes 2023, section 120B.11) to ensure that school districts and charter schools in Minnesota enhance student achievement through teaching and learning supports. School boards that govern districts and charter schools are required to develop comprehensive, long-term strategic plans that address the following four WBWF 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.

    NoteDue to legislative changes, third grade reading is no longer a WBWF goal area as of the 2023–24 school year.

    The Westonka Public Schools World’s Best Workforce Plan serves as a blueprint that demonstrates how the district’s current strategic plan and supporting district initiatives and plans work together in a concerted effort to educate and prepare our students to be competitive and successful in a global and changing work environment.
