The Anoka-Hennepin School District is now in mandatory Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS) status as required by the Minnesota Department of Education. This means the School District must use a portion of federal special education funding to provide early intervention for students who have not been identified for special education service but demonstrate a need for extra academic or behavioral support.

Focus areas:

• Reduce Disproportionality: The School District will use CEIS funds to address and reduce disproportionality in special education identification, placement, and discipline.
• Data-Driven Support: The school district will implement evidence-based interventions to help students before they fall behind.
• Proactive Approach: The goal is to give every student high-quality instruction and support early on, so they have a better chance of success.

Anoka-Hennepin will continue to monitor progress to ensure the needs of students are met.
