School News

Boil Water Advisory and School Closures

A boil water advisory has been issued for the cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope caused by a valve issue in a Golden Valley water tower. Water pressure has since been restored, but the Minnesota Department of Health must confirm the water is safe before the advisory can be lifted. Testing is currently underway.

However, as a result, Extended School Year (ESY) programming is canceled districtwide, and all other school programming is canceled tomorrow, July 14, 2025, at district sites located in these three communities.
