• Advisory body recommends Osseo Schools expand academic support, launch caregiver academy (hometownsource.com) — Osseo School Board members recently heard two big recommendations that could shape your child’s school day next year: expanding academic intervention staff and creating a new Caregiver Academy for families. The advisory council says more interventionists and better caregiver training would close learning gaps and give parents clearer tools to support students at home, though the board hasn’t taken formal action yet. 
• Brooklyn Park secures $7.5M from the state for Community Activity Center expansion (hometownsource.com) — Brooklyn Park has secured $7.5 million in state bonding to expand and remodel its Community Activity Center, adding a multi-court gym while keeping both ice rinks. Osseo Maple Grove Youth Hockey was among the groups that pushed for this funding, meaning Osseo-area skaters and families will benefit from more ice access, larger tournaments, and a stronger regional athletics hub.
