Kindgergarten class
Minnesota is seeing an increase in the number of children entering kindergarten. That means many school districts will see an increase in K-12 enrollment over the next few years. In Bemidji, the increase is causing overcrowded classrooms. This kindergarten class has 26 students. Administrators would prefer class sizes in the teens.
