• Robbinsdale Board Votes To End Magnet Program at Fair School Crystal (ccxmedia.org) — Robbinsdale school leaders have voted to end the Fair School Crystal middle school magnet program, shifting those students to Plymouth Middle School or Sandburg Middle School starting in 2026–27.

The move is part of a broader response to a $21 million budget deficit and state financial oversight.
