Governor Closes Schools Starting Wednesday, Childcare Provided for Children of Healthcare Workers

9:14 AM | Sunday, March 15, 2020

Governor Tim Walz announced Sunday morning that Minnesota K-12 public schools will temporarily close starting Wednesday. This is for school administrators and teachers to make long-term plans for the continuity of education and essential services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Schools will be closed to students by Wednesday, March 18, through Friday, March 27.

However, Governor Walz also signed an executive order for schools to provide care for elementary-age children of health care professionals, first responders, and other emergency workers during previously planned school days.
