2019-20 Attendance boundaries approved by the School Board
(09/24/2018) The School Board approved new attendance boundaries for several elementary schools and Blaine and Coon Rapids middle schools at its Sept. 24 meeting.
Beginning fall 2019, the following proposals will be in effect across the district (to type in an address, click the magnifying glass icon on one of the Google map links below):
- Andover cluster elementary schools: proposal two
- Anoka cluster elementary schools: proposal two
- Blaine cluster elementary schools: proposal one
- Champlin Park cluster elementary schools: proposal two
- Coon Rapids cluster elementary schools: proposal two
- Blaine and Coon Rapids middle schools: proposal two
Changes can understandably be tough. “This is never an easy task,” said Tom Heidemann, School Board Chair. Understanding this, board members shared throughout the seven-month attendance boundary process that educational programs and services are similar throughout the district. “We have great schools everywhere in Anoka-Hennepin – you can count on that," said Chair Heidemann. Special activities will be held next spring, summer and fall to welcome and support students and families relocating schools.
Families that would like to stay at their former schools may apply for various enrollment options. In-district transfer is the most common – current Anoka-Hennepin families wanting to go to a school other than their assigned school. In this case, transportation is the responsibility of the family. The application process for this enrollment option and others, including open enrollment and specialty schools, begins Dec. 1, 2018 for the 2019-20 school year. All applications must then be submitted by Jan. 15, 2019.
Families interested in Northwest Suburban Integration School District specialty schools (Monroe and University Avenue elementary schools; Anoka Middle School for the Arts; and Blaine and Coon Rapids high schools) may start their application a little earlier. Oct. 15, 2018 is when the application window begins for those schools.
