Minnesota schools are welcoming students back to class this week. Many started Tuesday morning. It’s a difficult time for some as they deal with the news and impact of the deadly mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School.

Districts are focused on keeping kids safe and meeting their needs. MPR News education reporter Elizabeth Shockman and MPR News correspondent Kirsti Marohn, who covers central Minnesota, joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about what schools, students and parents are saying about the start of classes.
