    Anoka-Hennepin Schools will follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) guidelines regarding safety measures provided in schools. The safest environments will be made possible through cooperation from students and staff in alignment with the following measures:

    • Limited building access to visitors
