ROCHESTER, Minn. - Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is hoping to address the immediate impact of the pandemic by releasing a new education plan.
The goal of the ‘Due North Education Plan is to make sure every child has access to a world-class education no matter their race or zip code.
During a press conference on Monday, Walz said, “We re going to have to first and foremost recover from COVID. We re going to have to make extra opportunities available to bring our kids back to where they need to be and change that system to look towards the future. We ve learned a lot during COVID. Not only things that don t work but things that do work for kids.”
