MOORHEAD A judge sided with a union representing Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Public Schools staff Tuesday, May 4, to enforce an executive order issued by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz during the coronavirus pandemic to allow teachers 30 minutes of extra preparation time.
The school district was sued by Beth Tollefson, president of the trade union Education Minnesota Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton, who claimed that since students began going back to classes in-person, kindergarten through 8th grade teachers were juggling in-person and distance instructional models, adding to their workload.
