Minneapolis teachers file intent to strike: students could be out of school by Nov. 11, what it means for US education nationwide

Minneapolis teachers have filed an intent to strike, potentially affecting tens of thousands of students as early as Nov. 11. The Minneapolis Federation of Educators is negotiating wages, class size limits, and special education support, while the district faces $75–$100 million budget gaps. Previous strikes occurred in 2022 and nearly in 2024. The dispute highlights broader challenges in US public education, including funding shortfalls and teacher retention, raising questions about potential impacts on schools nationwide.
