Child care, meals, activities: Parent resources during Minneapolis educators strike
Minneapolis educators went on strike Tuesday after negotiations between the city’s public school district and its teacher’s union on a new contract failed. There is no immediate indication when talks might resume.
During the strike all classes pre-K through 12th grade and Transition Plus classes will be canceled. That puts more than 30,000 kids out of classrooms and about 4,000 teachers and staff out of work.
Here’s are some resources for families in need of child care or other support while classrooms are closed.
