Minnesota House passes protections for hourly school employees

ST. PAUL — A divided state House of Representatives on Monday, May 4, passed a bill meant to protect pay for hourly Minnesota school employees during the coronavirus pandemic.

House Bill 4415 would require school districts and charter schools to pay hourly employees like janitors and bus drivers for the days they were unable to work due to pandemic-related school closures, and continue to do so until the state's stay at home order lifts. The bill passed 83-49 with broad support from House Democrats.
