Most of the metro area here in MN is very safe. (The 20
below weather deters a lot of criminal activity.) A few
neighborhoods in North Minneapolis might be a little
undesirable..but the Minneapolis Public Schools pay well and
usually offer very good benefits. If you are a male??? you
have a better chance at obtaining a elementary job otherwise
it is difficult. Good Luck!
