Comprehensive Achievement & Civic Readiness

What is the Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness Plan?

The World’s Best Workforce bill was passed in 2013 to ensure every school district in the state is making strides to increase student performance. 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. Each district must develop a plan that addresses the following five 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.

How do we report our Comprehensive Achievement & Civic Readiness and Achievement & Integration plans?

Under Minnesota Statutes, section 120B.11, school districts develop a Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness (CACR) report and a report summary for each school year. This summary documents the CACR student achievement goals established the previous year, the strategies and initiatives the district implemented to meet them, and the progress made on those goals by the end of the school year. Since 2017-2018, this report also includes a summary of the Achievement & Integration plan for those districts who have one. Districts post their reports on their district website, and submit the summary report to MN Department of Education each year. 

The Forest Lake Area Schools' annual public meeting to review the 2024-2025 Comprehensive Achievement & Civic Readiness and Achievement & Integration report was held on November 20, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. at the District Office building.
