Sejong Academy Moves to Online Learning Amid Safety Concerns
A taxpayer-funded Minnesota charter school, Sejong Academy, has transitioned to online classes due to unspecified safety concerns, coinciding with increased U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity that has instilled fear in the local Myanmar community. Urban Village, a community organization, advised undocumented immigrants to stay home and limit interactions, highlighting the impact of heightened enforcement on families. The school has not linked its decision to ICE activities, and it remains unclear if there was any coordination with Urban Village. Sejong Academy has received over $7 million in government grants, emphasizing its status as a publicly funded institution.
