Learn more about our long-range facilities planning process.
Aitkin Public Schools provides a quality education that prepares students for success. Our staff, curriculum, and the facilities where our students learn all play a vital role in shaping their achievements.
The district is working on a long-term facilities plan to ensure our buildings can support our students well into the future. Through community input, research, and facility assessments, the district has identified key priorities such as providing more space, making our schools more secure, and repairing and updating our buildings.
We are now considering the best ways to address these needs. Our goal is to create a cost-effective plan that serves our students, staff, and community for decades.
