City of Lino Lakes <br />Katie A. Larsen, AICP, City Planner <br />Dear Ms. Larsen, <br />As superintendent of Forest Lake Area Schools, I continually monitor housing developments and population <br />trends that influence school enrollment. Along with my staff, we are grateful for the prior meetings and <br />conversations we have had with the Lino Lakes planning team. You have been extremely gracious in sharing <br />information regarding potential residential housing growth in Lino Lakes that may have an impact on <br />enrollment at Lino Lakes Elementary School. <br />I have taken the opportunity to review both the Madinah Lakes Development project and the Natures Refuge <br />and Natures Refuge North projects. The Forest Lake Area School District supports both of these projects and <br />the potential student enrollment growth that may come with this development. As the projects move forward <br />in the planning process, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate with the City and the project developers to <br />support families in transitioning to a new school. <br />Lino Lakes Elementary offers a dynamic and innovative learning environment rooted in STEM education. <br />Students also have the opportunity to enroll in the school’s Spanish Immersion Plus program. Additionally, <br />the school playground and outdoor recreational space provides exciting play spaces for children and families. <br />Additional school district information can be found at flaschools.org. <br />In partnership, <br />Steve Massey, Ed.D., <br />Superintendent <br />Excellence for Every Student Every Day <br />Forest Lake Area Schools •Independent School District 831 •Equal Opportunity Employer <br />Attachment 13: Forest Lake Area School District letter received April 26, 2024
