The editors of the Woodbury Bulletin endorsed a South Washington County (ISD 833) takeover of Crosswinds: Our View: Crosswinds addition could be opportune. “On the surface,” they say, “this appears to be a two-birds-with-one-stone solution.” But they also ask a number of questions:
- What’s to come of the current curriculum offered at Crosswinds?
- If the current arts- and science-based curriculum remains, where do District 833 students take that specialized education after 10th grade?
- Though the building has been paid for by the state and a portion of operating funds are already covered by 833, will that cover all the costs? How much additional funding could District 833 be on the hook for? What fills the gap of EMID dollars steered toward Crosswinds that would presumably go away under an 833 takeover?
- Would the integration model remain in any capacity?
