EMID Families tries to keep you abreast of the week to week happenings at EMID. But every once in a while a number of us get worked up about one issue or another. Here are pointers to past activities of EMID Families.
2008
The departure of ISD 622 from the EMID collaborative. On 16 January 2008, EMID families found an article in the Star Tribune that alerted us to the fact that the North Saint Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale (ISD 622) school board would consider pulling out of the East Metro Integration District at its January 22nd meeting. The next day the Pioneer Press also ran a story. We quickly learned that a process that took place in a little over a month would tear at the fabric of our EMID family.
2010
Grade Structure Task Force. In February 2010 some families joined the administration of EMID in arguing for an expansion of Crosswinds to include grades 11 and 12. This discussion was tabled by the EMID board later in 2010.
2011
EMID-SOS. In August 2011 parents learned that the EMID board was considering closing EMID schools at the end of the 2011/2012 school year. We began working together to save our schools.
