HeadlineMar 25, 2022

The deal would reportedly boost pay for education support professionals, bring new protections to teachers of color, limit class sizes and increase funding for mental health. If the contract is ratified this weekend, some 29,000 students could return to Minneapolis classrooms on Monday.
