Why did attendance boundaries need to change?

A community advisory group called the Enrollment and Capacity Management Advisory Committee (ECMAC) has continued to study student enrollment, capacity and building use. In recent years the group found that there is significant growth in portions of the district. Future housing and redevelopment are expected in these same areas. There are also some district facilities under capacity and in need of being addressed. 

Essentially, this data showed that with or without the 2023 referendum passing attendance boundaries needed to be changed. Thanks to our community the referendum passed - which is adding an elementary school and an addition to Maple Grove Senior High School to address growth - the changes didn't need to be as extensive.
