Welcome to the Glean, MinnPost's twice-daily roundup of Minnesota news. CBS News' Steve Hartman reports students at Glen Lake Elementary in Hopkins raised $300,000 to build an adaptive playground that is inclusive to students with physical disabilities. 'It just didn't seem fair that some kids were just left out,' student Wyatt Feucht said. MPR's Dan Gunderson reports Minnesota has a critical shortage of jail workers.
