MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) Many parents want their kids back in school full-time.
Less than 24 hours ago, local parents created a Facebook group dedicated to letting community members voice concerns about Mankato Area Public Schools’ decision to delay the transition from distance to hybrid learning.
“We understand the frustration,” said Stacy Wells, communications director at Mankato Area Public Schools. “We would like to have our students back as well, so we understand that they are just looking for a platform and a way to kind of share how they are feeling. So, we respect that.”
