Last update: 12 hours ago

Minnesota Education & Community: Northern Minnesota districts are shifting to four-day school weeks as funding strains hit hard, with Ely Public Schools moving next year to protect programs and staffing. Local Schools Spotlight: Kelliher Elementary reported top fourth-grade math MCA participation (52% proficiency) for 2024-25, while Verndale Elementary posted strong third-grade results (57% proficiency). Public Safety & Outdoors: The Minnesota Wildfire Academy in Grand Rapids is drawing 482 students, training future wildfire fighters. Culture & Faith in the Twin Cities: Minneapolis candle and wellness brand Kobi Co. is celebrating Prince-inspired candlelight experiences for Prince Celebration Week. Immigration & Civil Rights: St. Paul won’t pursue state charges against anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a church service, citing insufficient evidence for state statutes. National Policy Watch: A federal judge ended Nebraska’s in-state tuition for undocumented students, siding with DOJ that the benefit violates federal law. Arts & Leisure: New Ulm’s German Park Summer Concert series is set for a classic rock cover band performance.
