For a second day, thousands of Minneapolis students will be out of class as teachers and staff hit the picket line.

Minneapolis public school teachers say they want education fully funded for Minnesota students, and they want lawmakers to use the state’s $9 billion surplus to pay for it. That’s the message educators plan to share at the State Capitol Wednesday afternoon.

But first, they’re taking their message to the streets. Members of the Minnesota Federation of Teachers and Education Support Professionals will return to the picket line at 7:30 a.m.
