What the archived document says

This address formerly carried an open letter addressed to the Minneapolis Public Schools Board of Directors. Signed by student organizers of Our Turn Twin Cities, the letter called for the district to end its partnership with the Minneapolis Police Department after George Floyd’s death. It connected that demand to the organizers’ concerns about student safety and earlier school-policing advocacy.

The letter documents a demand made by its signatories. It does not, by itself, establish the district’s eventual decision or describe a current contract. Those questions require separate, dated records from the district and other relevant sources.

This historical note keeps the original subject identifiable for readers arriving through an older link. It is not a new letter to the board, a petition, or a statement written by the original signatories for this publication. Consult the archive for the source text and its full context.
