CMP Part 4F. Public Services Plan
<br /> PUBLIC EDUCATION
<br /> Orono is served by four local School Districts in addition to a number of private
<br /> elementary and pre-schools, a private charter school, and a privately operated art
<br /> center which provides nationally recognized art education to all members of the
<br /> public.
<br /> Orono's four local school districts serve geographic areas of the City as
<br /> indicated on Map 4F-2. Each of the four districts provides its own full service
<br /> program of educational services for grades Kindergarten through Twelve, plus
<br /> special education, recreation and community service programs. Each District is
<br /> operated independent of the City by a separately elected School Board. Each
<br /> District provides and manages its own student transportation services. And, since
<br /> each District has its own tax powers, there is considerable difference in total
<br /> property tax mill levy between different neighborhoods in the City.
<br /> Minnetonka School District No. 276 �nnn �R;n T ,,,,., co.c�c
<br /> ���� �.�:
<br /> This School District has the smallest area of the City within its borders serving
<br /> only the two small sections of Big Island. The odd arrangement of this boundary
<br /> dates back to some of the former township realignments in 1868 and 1889.
<br /> Apparently at one time the township border was moved (as when the Narrows
<br /> channel was relocated) and the school border did not move, or vice-versa. It is
<br /> doubtful that any Minnetonka students actually reside in Orono as only seasonal
<br /> cottages are located on these portions of the island.
<br /> Westonka School District No. 277 — �nnn n�r;» r ,,.,., c�.�,,
<br /> This School District includes all of the Navarre Area, the major portion of
<br /> Orono's Urban Service Area, and a small amount of rural land on our western
<br /> border. An elementary school (Elizabeth Gardner) was located on Shoreline
<br /> Drive at Dunwoody Avenue until it was closed and sold in 1978. All Orono
<br /> students are now bused to their classrooms in Mound or Minnetrista:
