Lake Nokomis Community School Input

Gathering your Thoughts

Minneapolis Public School District is looking into the need for a referendum on this fall's ballot. Some Lake Nokomis Community School parents are gathering input from the community to identify needs you see. We are asking for input from stakeholders within the school - staff, teachers, students, parents, volunteers, etc. -- and stakeholders in the broader community -- business owners, workers, neighbors, community members, etc. This is a first step toward articulating what our area sees as priorities to adequately meet the needs to successfully educate our students.

Question Title
