Minnesota Schools Focus on Safety and Literacy

St. Paul Public Schools, serving 33,000 students, reports improved staffing levels with fewer than 50 openings compared to over 600 during the pandemic.

The Anoka-Hennepin School District is implementing mobile surveillance units at large events to enhance campus security for its 38,000 students.

Both districts have prioritized reading and literacy skills for the new school year, aiming to support cognitive development and emotional regulation in a changing environment.
