• Robbinsdale school board votes to close middle school, 2 elementary schools (kstp.com) — Robbinsdale families face major changes after the Robbinsdale Area School Board voted to close Robbinsdale Middle School, Noble Elementary, and Sonnesyn Elementary as part of a debt-reduction plan. The decision follows a $20 million budgeting error, declining enrollment, and extensive public input, and aims to cut $8 million next year while keeping Lakeview and Neill elementaries open.
