OverviewMSAN Research Practitioner Council
The direction of MSAN's work is shaped by two organizing structures: the MSAN Governing Board and the Research-Practitioner Council. The Research-Practitioner Council (RPC) is made up of two representatives from each MSAN district. One representative serves as the permanent RPC member for the district. The second individual is designated by the superintendent based on their expertise which informs a particular topic the RPC is exploring. RPC members are typically professionals from the following areas: research and testing, curriculum, equity or diversity, or other professionals who influence research and curriculum policy for the district. The RPC is responsible for carrying out the research agenda of MSAN.
