503.100 Boundary Policy

POLICY FOR ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY PROCESS

The Anoka-Hennepin School District assigns students to schools by designated attendance area boundaries. Boundaries are reviewed and modified to provide equitable distribution of students and programs and for efficient use of district resources. 

When boundary changes are necessary, parent meetings and/or public hearings will be held for public input prior to the school board meeting when recommendations specific to boundaries are to be made. Parent and community involvement and communication will be integrated throughout the process. 

When new boundaries are approved, an orientation at the new school of attendance will be held for those students and parents affected by the change. 

When a boundary change has been approved, options may be considered to minimize disruptions to students. Transportation of students opting to attend a school, not within their assigned attendance area will be the responsibility of parents. 

In the event of school closings, as necessitated by the boundary process, public hearings will be held in accordance with Minnesota law.
