The Trump administration is preparing to rescind the Obama administration's protections for transgender students in public schools — but U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos initially opposed the move, the New York Times reports. Trump, according to the Times, sided with Atty. Gen.

When a rocky relationship between a superintendent and school board winds up in court, it can lead to the awkwardness of divorce—like when a splitting couple continues living together with their kids in the middle of the conflict. As the relationship breaks down, it's relatively common for superintendents to hit the escape hatches in their contracts, through resignation or retirement, or for school board trustees to get voted in or out as tensions air. http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/District_Dossier/2017/02/the_likely_outcom...
The South Washington County school district is tightening security after a high school student hacked into the district’s server and took names, Social Security numbers and some addresses.

A Florida police officer who accidentally shot to death a retired Twin Cities school librarian during a role-playing exercise last summer has been charged with a felony and the police chief is charged with a lesser offense, authorities announced.

After yet another balmy February day featuring the metro area’s fifth record high in the past six days, Minnesotans were switching back to their heavy winter coats to prepare for a major snowstorm expected to move in Thursday and last well into Friday.

A slightly less dire winter storm watch covered a broad swath of south-central and southeastern Minnesota, including Willmar, St. Cloud, the Twin Cities, R...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — For the first time, astronomers have discovered seven Earth-size planets orbiting a single nearby star — and these new worlds could hold life. This cluster of planets is less than 40 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius, according to NASA and the Belgian-led research team who announced the discovery Wednesday. http://www.startribune.com/7-earth-size-worlds-found-orbiting-star-could-hold-life/414509803/...

CANNON BALL, N.D. – Pipeline opponents sang prayer songs and exchanged tearful hugs as they vacated the main Dakota Access resistance camp Wednesday, but they said they were not leaving in defeat. “It’s a victory because this has inspired a movement that will continue,” said Tim Scott, a camp medic volunteer from Massachusetts. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4222754-dakota-access-pipeline-camp-closure-goes-fairly-peacefully-despite-2-hurt-and-10...

A legal opinion that tribes have been using in their fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline has been suspended by the new Trump administration and could be rescinded altogether. Hillary Tompkins, who was the first Native woman to serve as Solicitor at the Department of the Interior, authored the opinion on December 4, 2016. In it, she concluded that the controversial project impacts the treaty rights of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. https://www.indianz.com/News/2017/02/22/trump-team-puts...
During the mid-1970s, Congress confirmed what Indian tribes had been saying for decades: State and local social workers and judges were aggressively using child custody hearings to take Indian children away from their families and tribes and place them in foster or adoptive homes, more often than not with white families. According to a congressional investigation, between 25 and 35 percent of all Indian children in the U.S. had been taken from their homes — a rate that jeopardized tribal culture if not the very survival of the tribes. I...
