Never thought I'd say this but here we go: The two agencies that denied me press access was Minneapolis Public Schools and Department of Homeland Security

A big announcement from our team – Southwest Voices and the Southwest Connector are joining forces to create one publication covering Southwest Minneapolis across print and digital platforms. southwestvoices.news/posts/one-pape…

@lxforever @smokeymn1992 Thank you! 🙏

@smokeymn1992 @SWV_Melissa I echo this wonderful compliment for you @SWV_Melissa . You’ve been a gift.

The MPs schools board meeting will be a long one tonight. Here’s the agenda: meetings.boardbook.org/Public/Agenda/…

@smokeymn1992 Thank you for appreciating my work.

@SWV_Melissa Melissa, much gratitude for your in-depth coverage of MPS, particularly regarding budget/finance issues. It’s pretty clear that the board is not willing to face the ongoing financial crisis with honesty and courage, so this situation will not be turning around anytime soon.

@Mpls_Scott Thank you!

@SWV_Melissa I appreciate your MPS reporting! Enjoy the next phase.

45/ (It is almost my bedtime.)

44/ Next up are proposed new school calendars. Ryan Strack is presenting. The proposals are posted online with the boardbook.
