Few show at Anoka-Hennepin boundary hearing -"Sun Suburbs Today" webcast - Thursday, Oct. 29, 2009

Few people showed for the fourth of five public hearings on school attendance boundary changes for the Anoka-Hennepin School District last night at Champlin Park High School. The hearings have not been as highly attended as previous public hearings on school closings, which prompted changing boundaries. Last night only one person spoke to thank the School Board for not changing boundaries for students in the Champlin Elementary School boundary area as that school has been targeted to close. A re-vote of school closings is Monday, Nov. 23 and a new public hearing on school closings is 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at Blaine High School. For more information visit mnsun.com.

Rabbi Kushner was joined by Imam Makram El-Amin, Rabbi Marcia Zimmerman, The Rev. John Bauer and The Rev. Janet Stark.
