VIII.B. Report: Boundary Changes Recommendations
Speaker(s):
Mr. Mark Drommerhausen, Executive Director of Operations and Ms. Carissa Keister, Chief of Staff
Description:

To support the opening of the new Lake Elmo and Bayport elementary schools and balance enrollment across southern elementary sites, the district initiated a boundary adjustment process earlier this year.

A boundary committee—made up of staff and community representatives—developed multiple boundary scenarios, reviewed data, and gathered input from families through public engagement opportunities. Based on that work, district administration is now presenting a final recommendation for board consideration.

The recommended boundary adjustments are aligned with the board-approved Guiding Change Document.

This report is for information only. Board action will be requested at a future meeting.
