MINNEAPOLIS — After much deliberation resulting in a 6-2 vote, Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) leaders approved a two-phase plan bringing K-5 students back into the classroom, while also giving parents the option to keep their kids in distance learning.
"I believe families ought to have these options for their children," said MPS Board Chair Kim Ellison.
"Other children need more attention, particularly those who aren't checking in online and those with IEP's, our students receiving special education services," said Jenny Arneson, MPS Board Vice Chair.
