The federal Department of Education has started an investigation into the Edina school district.
The Department of Education website doesn’t include information about the nature of the Title VI investigation, other than saying it started Jan. 30 and is focused on “national origin discrimination involving religion.”
But it comes after two Edina High School students filed a federal complaint late last year, alleging the school district discriminated against them when they were suspended for using a pro-Palestinian chant during a walkout to protest the Israel-Hamas war.
