The Mounds View district has also been working closely with Equal Opportunity Schools, a group aiming to enroll students of all backgrounds in advanced placement.
“[Equal Opportunity Schools] kind of gave us a springboard into the work we’ve been undertaking this year,” Ridlehoover said. “We re-branded that as early college access. What we’ve basically done is take the principles [Equal Opportunity Schools] taught us and used those principles to try to increase enrollment across the board and across the demographics.”
