MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - After shifting 15 schools to distance learning due to a heat wave this week, Minneapolis Public Schools says it will bring its students back into its buildings Friday for the last day of school.
The district announced it will reopen schools despite there being an excessive heat warning in the Minneapolis area. MPS says it wants students to be able to say goodbye, collect their items and for teachers to close down their classrooms.
