The Minneapolis Public School District committed to provide Minnesota Urban Debate League (MNUDL), with funding of $100,000 over a two-year period. The funding, combined with support the program already has from the St. Paul Public Schools, means the MNUDL will add seven schools to its program. MNUDL serves more than 500 middle- and high-school students in the Twin Cities, and students in the program have a 100 percent on-time high school graduation rate.
