More Minnesota students may be signing up for summer school to make up the ground they lost during this unpredictable school year. Districts and charter schools around the state are set to receive a share of the federal COVID-19 aid package approved last month, which included $54 billion for K-12 schools nationwide. Local school administrators expect to use at least some of it to target "learning loss" resulting from the pandemic. Some hope to provide additional help to students this spring...
Minneapolis Public Schools Superintendent Ed Graff is proposing the district begin offering full-time, in-person instruction to its youngest learners in February. First up would be preschoolers and kindergartners on Feb. 8 and first- and second-graders on Feb. 10, followed by students in grades 3-5 on Feb. 22, under a recommendation to be presented to the school board on Tuesday.

I received the vaccine...
The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes can continue charging food and chemical conglomerate FMC Corp. a fee of $1.5 million a year for storing hazardous waste on reservation land. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a challenge to a lower court decision in the tribes’ favor. In 2019, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes could charge FMC a fee for storing the waste from its now-closed phosphorus processing plant on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation in Idaho. The ruling by the three-judge appeals court p...
WASHINGTON — They came from across America, summoned by President Donald Trump to march on Washington in support of his false claim that the November election was stolen and to stop the congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden as the victor. "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th," Trump tweeted a week before Christmas. "Be there, will be wild!" The insurrectionist mob that showed up at the president's behest and stormed the U.S. Capitol was overwhelmingly made up of longtime Trump supporters, including Republican Party officials, GOP p...
Four years ago I was invited to a meeting with a variety of tribal and community leaders to talk about the election of Donald Trump and what it meant. I was told to be bold, push the thinking to a new place. So my talk focused on how tribal nations should prepare for the end of the United States.
