State of Minnesota announces Safe Learning Plan
Governor Tim Walz, along with the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota Department of Health, have announced Minnesota’s Safe Learning Plan for the 2020-21 School Year.
The plan uses a data-driven approach based on the number of COVID-19 cases in local communities to determine if classes should be in-person, distance learning or a hybrid model. Public health and state education experts will partner with local schools to help determine which of three learning model they should use to start the school year.
