For many years the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT)/Democratic-Farmer Labor (DFL) Party cohort has controlled the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Board of Education. That control has been severely reduced now with the victories of Sharon El-Amin over MFT sycophant KerryJo Felder in District 2 (North Minneapolis) and Adriana Cerrillo over DFL-endorsed Christa Mims in District 4 (Bryn Mawr, Uptown, and surrounding areas). Michael Dueñes could not overcome Kim Ellison’s name recognition for the At-Large seat, but the El-Amin and Cerrillo victories have the potential to signal a new day for the students of the Minneapolis Public Schools.
