The Minneapolis Board of Education unanimously adopted Resolution 2025-0017, which reaffirms district practices related to the dignity and rights of immigrant and LGBTQ+ students, staff and families. The resolution references a Dec. 13, 2016 resolution and the June 11, 2024 gender inclusion policy, and it cites increased anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment nationally as a reason for reaffirming protections.
Among its provisions, the resolution directs access to age-appropriate educational and mental-health resources to promote respect toward students, staff and families of all identities and states that the district will continue to protect and defend students and staff within its authority. The motion was adopted on a voice vote with eight 'Aye' votes (Abdi absent).
