Gov. Tim Walz has suggested he wants to get K-12 students back in the classroom in some capacity this fall, although no final decision has been announced. In the meantime, districts are preparing for three different scenarios for the coming school year: distance learning, in-person learning, or a combination of the two.

For more on how teachers are planning amid the uncertainty, MPR News host Cathy Wurzer talked with James Herberg, a social studies teacher and football coach at ROCORI High School in Cold Spring.
