According to the National Weather Service, the Twin Cities can expect hazardous wind chills of -20 to -24 degrees starting around midnight and carrying into the early morning.
Given the weather conditions, the district anticipates a reduced capacity to safely transport students.
The cancelation of in-person instruction is also because of an increase in reported COVID cases over the weekend, the district said.
St. Paul Public Schools advised parents in a tweet to bundle their children up, but that "There are no plans to hold an e-learning day at this time."
The governor said it may be 2027 or 2028 by the time the market catches up to demand.
