Overview
- St. Paul Public Schools will launch a temporary virtual option on Jan. 22, canceling in-person classes Jan. 20–21 to prepare and opening registration on Jan. 15.
- The St. Paul option keeps students with their current teachers and schools and is distinct from the district’s existing online program.
- Minneapolis Public Schools is offering an e-learning option through Feb. 12 following the ICE-related shooting that prompted earlier cancellations.
- Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan (District 196) has opened online access for students this week, with staff check-ins and messaging that acknowledges community grief and fear.
- St. Paul officials say two contracted school vans carrying students and staff were stopped by federal agents this week but continued to school without further disruption; SPPS has not set an end date for virtual learning and will review it weekly as investigations into the shooting continue.
