Osseo Schools Presents Updated Attendance Boundary Scenarios
Osseo Area Schools presented two updated attendance boundary scenarios affecting 2,000 to 2,600 elementary and middle school students during a community information meeting Thursday evening.
Dr. Kim H Pro, superintendent of Osseo Area Schools, outlined scenarios 1A and 2A, which represent modifications to proposals initially presented in January. The changes affect approximately 9 to 12 percent of the district's total enrollment and are designed to address enrollment imbalances across the district's 31 school buildings.
The boundary adjustments stem from significant growth in the northwest portion of the district, coupled with some schools operating under capacity. John Morset, executive director of finance and operations, explained that the changes follow community-built parameters developed from input by 3,000 community members who participated in the process last fall.
Most boundary changes will take effect in fall 2026, coinciding with the opening of a new elementary school in the northwest corner of the district. However, Crestview Elementary students will transition in fall 2025, as the building will be repurposed for pre-kindergarten programs and community-based services.
The district will announce final attendance boundaries in May following review of community feedback from March meetings. Fifth and eighth grade students in transitional years will have the option to remain at their current schools for one additional year, though transportation will not be provided for those choosing this option.
