'We need a more hands-on approach': Minneapolis board member reflects after vote delaying school closures

MINNEAPOLIS — There are now new questions the Minneapolis Public School Board will have to face after it voted to scrap its original plan to close as many as 16 schools.

The district announced that proposal in September and faced immediate pushback from community members and even city and state leaders.

"It was critical we got something in writing last night," said Board Member Greta Callahan, who spearheaded a plan to delay voting on the proposals last week. Her resolution, while amended, was approved unanimously at Tuesday's board meeting.
