Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), which recently reopened for in-person classes, has announced that it will close again in anticipation of unrest triggered by a jury verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer accused of killing George Floyd.
In an April 16 letter to students and families, MPS Superintendent Ed Graff wrote that students who signed up for in-person learning will have to attend online classes at home, starting from Wednesday, April 21, even though some grades have not been in classrooms for more than a year.
