MDE Statement on Annunciation Church and School Tragedy

The Minnesota Department of Education is deeply saddened by the tragic shooting at Annunciation Church and School. Our thoughts are with the students, families, and educators affected by this senseless violence.

Schools should be safe places for all to learn, teach, and grow. Violence of any kind has no place in our communities, much less in our schools.

We are closely monitoring the situation and stand ready to support Annunciation and the broader community as they respond to this tragedy.
