Realignment within a district can have a profound impact is on military connected students and families. Last week, the Minot Public Schools, District #1 surveyed and selected priorities for an upcoming district realignment.
In my attendance to this meeting, the following includes the realignment priorities from MPS School Board, District #1 which were ranked by each board member. Please reference the video in the comments for how each school board member ranked the priorities below.
As a note, this ranking does not include priorities or feedback from the Minot AFB, District #160, School Board.
Minot Public Schools, District #1 Realignment Priorities:
