The Minneapolis school system will offer families the option of remote learning for a month. Officials made the announcement Friday in response to concerns that children might feel unsafe venturing out in the city. Tensions are high in Minneapolis over federal immigration enforcement. Parents and educators say such enforcement in cities around the U.S. has led to dips in attendance. Under the temporary plan, teachers will simultaneously deliver lessons from their classrooms to students in the classroom and at home. It's similar to the way many did during the COVID-19 pandemic. The district says the virtual option will be available until Feb. 12.
