Shakopee board adopts district Language Access Plan required by state

The board approved a formal Language Access Plan the administration said was required under recent state guidance from the Minnesota Department of Education. Administration said the 13‑page plan codifies practices the district already uses — including a multilingual phone and video‑interpretation vendor (Propio), translated documents for the district's four most common languages (Spanish, Somali, Russian and Vietnamese), and emergency communication and reunification protocols.
