    I agree with . If we want our students & schools to start in person and STAY in person, we must follow all the recommended protocols. That includes investments in social/emotional learning & mental health supports so all our students fell safe and welcome.

    These workers exposed themselves and their families to a deadly virus. Many of them never had the proper PPE during the early months of the pandemic. And they continued to show up and do their work! We need to recognize these workers with a meaningful direct payment.

    Let’s be clear: The DFL wants to be inclusive when providing pandemic pay to our frontline workers. The GOP has proposed to cut out many of the workers that cared for the children of other frontline workers, stocked our shelves, and cleaned our buildings during this pandemic.

    From “masks optional” to distance learning. That didn’t take long. If you want schools to start open and stay open, follow the recommended guidelines. Vaccines. Masks. Social distancing. Hand washing. PPE. Cleaning.

    JUST IN: A Chisholm elementary school is going into a 14-day distance learning period due to COVID-19 transmission.
