While specific media coverage of Senate Bill 2123 is limited, the concept of teacher apprenticeship programs has been positively received in Minnesota. For instance, a special education apprenticeship program at Karner Blue Education Center in Circle Pines has been instrumental in addressing staffing shortages. This program offers intensive training to meet the needs of students with emotional behavioral disorders and autism spectrum disorders.

There is no specific media coverage indicating negative reactions to Senate Bill 2123. However, the bill's lack of progression suggests potential challenges in garnering sufficient support or addressing concerns related to its implementation.
