Walz announcing a return to school plan for middle, high school students

As of now the transmission rate for those participants is less than .4%.

Walz's office also says 85% of kindergarten through eighth-grade classes currently have some form of in-person learning.

"Getting our children safely back into the classroom continues to be a priority," says Walz. "From the teachers, to the parents, to school staff, to the kids – we all share the same goal of a safe return to the classroom. Testing is key to that."

We'll be streaming the announcement live on the WDIO website, facebook page and mobile app.
