Learning is going digital for Minneapolis Public Schools on Monday due to the cold weather and concerns around COVID-19, the district said on Sunday.

The message to families from the district said the decision was based on “the extreme windchill forecast at 6:30 a.m. and reduced capacity to transport students given the weather conditions and increased COVID-19 cases reported over the weekend.”

The district is also deciding to cancel athletics and activities on Monday, with temperatures expected to drop to minus 10 in the Twin Cities overnight.
