Anoka-Hennepin Schools was informed by our student therapy provider Youable that they are unable to fulfill their contract obligations to serve students in our district for the upcoming school year. This action is not a result of a funding issue or budget cut by the District or any other action taken by Anoka-Hennepin Schools. In response to this unexpected situation, Anoka-Hennepin Schools immediately began working on alternatives and new options for these services. The District is committed to facilitating this support and is working diligently to maintain this service for families.
