Dear colleagues,
In Minnesota, we have an important and valuable resource that is provided to us every
three years-the Minnesota Student Survey. The survey information is available for local
communities and the state as a whole. It provides a profile of how well our young people are
doing, as well as some of the problems they are facing. The survey data of course needs to be
interpreted locally and translated into actual community programming. This issue of IMPACT
highlights a number of communities that are doing just that.
Special thanks to all who helped with the planning and content of this issue of IMPACT.
