A federal judge dismissed a Department of Justice lawsuit against Minneapolis Public Schools’ policy aimed at retaining teachers of color on procedural grounds Monday. In a statement, Minneapolis Public Schools officials said they were pleased with the court’s decision and remained committed to the district’s collective bargaining agreements. But in Minneapolis Public Schools, like many districts in Minnesota, the teaching workforce is disproportionately white compared to its student body. Minneapolis Public Schools serves a diverse student population — about a third of students are white, a quarter Black, and a quarter Latino. Though the contested language has led to four years of legal wrangling, it’s not clear that it’s had much impact on Minneapolis teachers.
