Half of Minnesota Educators Say They Prefer Distance Learning This Fall

When it comes to heading back to school this fall… just one in five educators say they want a fully in-person return to the classroom.
That’s according to a statewide survey from Education Minnesota, the state’s teachers union.
Of the 20-thousand educators who weighed in… nearly half said they would prefer to stick with distance learning this fall. Just 17 percent say they want a full return to the classroom.
Still, about half of the educators support returning to some in-person learning, so long as appropriate safety measures are in place.
