SPPS working to fill teacher vacancies before new school year starts

St. Paul Public Schools (SPPS) is working to fill job openings with less than two weeks to go before the new school year starts.

“I’m confident we will have those teaching positions filled,” said Superintendent Dr. Stacie Stanley.

She explained SPPS Human Resources has been doing new intensive hiring fairs in the community to meet that goal.

The district had more than 135 teacher vacancies as of last week, according to a progress report to the Board of Education on Tuesday.

Cracker Barrel shares plummet after pushback on new logo, brand refresh

Shares of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

plummeted roughly 10% on Thursday after the restaurant unveiled its new logo earlier this week as part of a larger brand refresh.

The new logo removes the image of a man leaning against a barrel that was prominently featured in the original, leaving behind just the words “Cracker Barrel” against a yellow background. The phrase “old country store” has also been removed.

The company said the colors in the logo were inspired by the chain’s scrambled eggs and biscuits.

The change is part of a “strategic transformation” to revitalize the brand that started back in May 2024. Under that mission, Cracker Barrel’s brand refresh includes updates to visual elements, restaurant spaces and food and retail offerings.

Twin Cities scream club builds community through relieving stress

Hollie Carr started the group after seeing a Chicago scream club on TikTok. Many people found her group the same way.

“Are you here to scream?” Hollie Carr asked people who strolled by her Sunday night as the sun began to set near the Cedar Nichols Trailhead in Burnsville.

Carr founded Scream Club Twin Cities MN in early August. The group travels to different lakes, rivers and streams every week to scream across the water. And they’re always looking for new participants.

“Screaming is inclusive of everyone,” Carr said. “It doesn’t matter what your issues are or what your stress is. Our goal is to scream in community.”

Minnesota spent nearly $46,000 on welfare per person in poverty in 2023

Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances. This is the country’s only source of state and local spending data, allowing a detailed state-by-state comparison. The survey also divides spending data into categories, making it possible to analyze which public services states prioritize.

Overall, public welfare is the largest expenditure for most states. However, the level at which states prioritize assistance programs over other public services, such as roads and police, differs.

Minnesota, for instance, has a massive welfare system, dedicating a larger share of its revenue to assistance programs than most states. Additionally, Minnesota ranks among the top states for poverty-adjusted welfare spending, making it one of the most generous in the nation. In 2022, Minnesota spent approximately $42,000 (in 2023 $) per person on poverty, ranking second-highest in the entire country.

This trend continued in 2023, as newly released data from the U.S. Census Bureau reveals.
