History

In April 2015 a $2 million referendum was approved to increase the district's budget cap.[1] In May 2018 MPSD approved a realignment plan that would move 9th graders to Lincoln High School, 6th graders to Washington and Wilson Junior High, and kindergarten to local elementary schools. The plan also moves students at Stangel Elementary to Riverview Early Learning Center, and students at McKinley Academy to Stangel. This plan will take effect in the 2019–20 school year.[2]
