ROSEMOUNT, Minn. – Residents of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools District 196 are
encouraged to share their ideas for a new model of education in Minnesota that is designed for the success of all

Reimagine Minnesota is a collaborative effort of approximately 40 metro-area school districts to develop a
