(formerly known as World's Best Workforce)

The World's Best Workforce (WBWF) was developed in 2013 (Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 120B.11) to ensure that school districts and charter schools in Minnesota enhance student achievement through teaching and learning supports. During the 2024 session, the Minnesota Legislature renamed WBWF to Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness (CACR). This change took effect as of the 2024-25 school year strategic plans and Fall 2025 annual summary report.

School boards that govern districts and charter schools are required to develop comprehensive, long-term strategic plans that address the following five CACR 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.

• All students are prepared to be lifelong learners.

Coming Soon:

• 2024-2025 CACR School Site Improvement Goals & Results
