South Washington County Schools / School board to set attendance boundaries tonight

On the surface, school boundary changes are about where kids go to school. But dig a little deeper, and emotions emerge. Love of family tradition, pride in community, fear that housing values might decline. In South Washington County, a growing school district that includes the old river towns of St. Paul Park and Newport and the booming expanses of Woodbury, another emotion has emerged: anger. Parents have asked why their kids have to be used to achieve balance and why newcomers should push old-timers out of their desired schools.
