MAPLE GROVE, MN — The board of Osseo Area Schools Tuesday approved Supt. Cory McIntyre's recommendation for a delayed start to the academic year. The new first day of school is set for Monday, Sept. 14. Officials say the delay will provide the following benefits: "Assign staff to the Distance Learning Academy and adjust staff assignments in physical buildings""Revise master schedules at all schools, including the Distance Learning Academy""Provide additional training to staff in safety protocols and the effective delivery of instruction in the hybrid model""Provide time for staff to plan and prepare instruction in the event they have been assigned to teach at a new grade level or a new course within their subject area" The four extra days before school starts will not be added back into the calendar, officials said.
