Wayzata administration recommends Concept 9 to redraw elementary-middle attendance areas for 2025-26
Summary
Superintendent Chace Anderson presented Concept 9, a district plan to reassign elementary-middle feeders that would affect roughly 501 K-5 students (~8.6%) and aims to rebalance capacity and preserve neighborhood continuity; the transcript records the recommendation but does not include a board vote.
Acting Board Chair Heidi Kader called the special meeting of the Wayzata Public Schools Board of Education on Dec. 18, 2024, where Superintendent Chace B. Anderson presented an administrative recommendation labeled Concept 9 for elementary-middle attendance-area changes effective with the 2025-26 school year. The district packet and slides state the proposal would impact roughly 501 K-5 students (about 8.6% of elementary students) and was developed after multiple design-team and public-input rounds.
Administration and consultants described Concept 9 as designed to address school-capacity imbalances and maintain neighborhood feeders where possible. The presentation summarized process steps (a 28-member Design Team, an ~80-person Input Team, and public feedback rounds), the use of a consultant (TeamWorks) to model scenarios, and stated next steps if the board approves implementation, including updating student information systems and communicating transition plans to families. The transcript provided the recommendation and supporting data but does not record a motion, roll-call, or final vote in the supplied segments.
