CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan <br /> Orono School District No. 278. This School District includes more of Orono's land area than all other <br /> districts combined. Most of this District is within Orono's Rural Area where total planned density is <br /> relatively low. However,this is also where most of Orono's remaining development will occur. Therefore, <br /> student population from this area of Orono is likely to remain steady or slightly increase over the next 10- <br /> 20 years. <br /> Because of the low land use density and the distances involved, almost all Orono students are now bused <br /> or driven to their classrooms on the Orono campus located on Old Crystal Bay Road between County <br /> Road 6 and Wayzata Boulevard. Included in this facility are: <br /> Orono High School, 795 Old Crystal Bay Rd. N. (Grades 9-12) Orono Middle School, 800 Old Crystal <br /> Bay Rd.N. (Grades 6-8) Orono Intermediate School, 685 Old Crystal Bay Rd.N. (Grades 3-5) <br /> Schumann Elementary School, 765 Old Crystal Bay Rd.N. (Grades K-2) <br /> The Orono Schools have continually upgraded facilities in Orono, including a high school auditorium in <br /> 1981, the Link between the Middle School and Schumann Elementary in 1990, and a new High School <br /> media center in 2000. The new Middle School opened in the fall of 2000, expanding the school's campus <br /> to the east side of Old Crystal Bay Road. The City has no plan or intent to close Old Crystal Bay Road as <br /> a result of this expansion. Orono does plan to study the current school and City facilities driveway access <br /> established <br /> The City has ample municipal water supply to serve the Orono Schools facilities. Orono's municipal sewer <br /> capacity downstream from the school campus is currently adequate to accommodate all known planned <br /> school facility needs. <br /> Wayzata School District No.284. This School District includes a small section of Orono's eastern edge <br /> including fully developed neighborhoods within the Urban Area and some homes in the Rural Area. A <br /> significant portion of this District's Orono land area is within the Wayzata Country Club's golf course or <br /> within the DNR's Wood Rill Scientific and Natural Area. Because of these long term land uses, and the <br /> low density planned rural land use,the potential for student population from this portion of Orono is very <br /> limited. Compared with the major increases in population occurring in this District in Plymouth, any <br /> change in Orono student population would be insignificant. Under current zoning, approximately 125 <br /> households in Orono will ultimately be served by Wayzata Schools. <br /> All Orono students are bused to classrooms in Wayzata or Plymouth. Facilities used by Orono students <br /> include: <br /> Wayzata High School, Peony Lane, Plymouth (Grades 9-12) <br /> Wayzata West Middle School, Barry Avenue, Wayzata(Grades 6-8) <br /> Gleason Lake Elementary, County Road 101, Plymouth (Grades K-5) <br /> None of these facilities are expected to be closed in the future.Any new facilities will likely be constructed <br /> in Plymouth where major population increases are occurring. Since no school facilities are located in <br /> Orono, Orono's facilities plans have no direct impact on District 284. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 6 <br />
