Update from Rep. Tabke: Schools Closed for remainder of the Academic Year

Today, Governor Walz announced that Minnesota’s schools will remain closed, with distance learning taking place until the end of the academic school year. The governor also announced a plan for up to 100,000 workers to safely return to their jobs (in industrial, manufacturing, and office settings) and explained the different factors determining the gradual re-opening of society in Minnesota. You can watch today's announcement here. 

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), released a guide on what safely returning to work would look like for some businesses, which you can access here.
