St. Paul Students Plan Walkout Over COVID Safety

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — A student walkout is planned in St. Paul Tuesday.

Students across the district say they will demand better COVID-19 precautions to stay in school.

They say they want to see KN95 or N95 masks in schools, tests for staff and students on campus and a better outline for transitioning to distance learning.

Last week, the district said all St. Paul schools will remain open for in-person learning, as several other districts shifted online.

The district says it’s handling the virus on a building-by-building basis.
