What our classes will look like during the pandemic
We have redesigned our offerings with new health and safety procedures in mind while following the guidelines from the MN Department of Health (MDH), Center for Disease Control (CDC), MN Department of Education and Albert Lea School District. This will include online class opportunities, smaller in-person class sizes, health screenings for staff and students, increased cleaning of areas prior to and after classes, increased hand hygiene before, during and after classes and practicing of social distancing strategies.
