Minnesota Now: Sept. 5, 2023

Minnesota Now podcast art

Most K-12 students in Minnesota are back in school Tuesday. We find out how students are coping with this heat and which new laws will affect students’ lives this school year.

We visit the nation’s first East African Magnet School in St. Paul and hear how that district is trying a new approach to boost enrollment.

Airports can be a nightmare for people living with dementia. We find out what a Minnesota-based group is doing to help.

We meet a potter who turned an old Duluth bank building into an art studio. And we talk to an author who wrote a book partly inspired by “The Parent Trap” and partly pulled from her own life.

Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.
