Description: 3/10/2022 Update: Allison Kampbell has added in edits to Waconia Elementary school boundaries. These edits came from Jessica Kilian, Executive Assistant to the Superiintendent, JKilian@isd110.org. This file represents the boundaries of all public school attendance areas in the state of Minnesota for school year 2021-2022. Attendance areas attempt to represent the detailed breakdowns of school districts that determine where students attend elementary, middle, and high schools. These areas are unique to each school district. The "dissolved" school district boundaries without attendance area breakdowns are available in a separate resource. Each year Minnesota school districts are asked to report any changes to their elementary, middle and high school attendance area boundaries. This file was developed from this annual information. Users should be aware that compliance is not mandatory, so the information included is only as accurate as provided by districts. Actual decisions on where students attend which schools is entirely decided by the districts, not by MDE. Please also see accuracy notes in the school district boundary dataset, which also apply to this layer.
