Minneapolis schools aim to close achievement gap
About 60,000 children enroll in public school kindergartens every year in Minnesota. State officials say 10 to 12 percent of them do so without being adequately prepared . . .

The tangible results in Minneapolis will be that 220 more children from low-income homes will be able to attend all-day preschool. Gregory A. Patterson, Star Tribune (MN), 4-30-09
