Classes are canceled for duration of the strike.
Minneapolis and St. Paul Public Schools say the one-time money can’t be used to fund long term priorities or raises. Experts say it should help students catch up.
Minneapolis Public Schools canceled all of its classes Tuesday, impacting some 29,000 students.
“We’re going to have to invest in our employees, we know that,” said MPS Superintendent Ed Graff during a teachers strike negotiation update Tuesday. “But the only way we’re going to be able to sustain that is increased revenue. You either have to increase revenue, or decrease expenses – those are the two options.”
Teachers in the Minneapolis Public School District will picket for a second straight day Wednesday as they continue their strike, before taking their grievances to the Minnesota Capitol.
