LAKEVILLE

Integration coordinator takes new job The Lakeville School District will lose its integration and equity coordinator this summer when Todd Olson takes a new job as associate principal at Roseville Area Middle School.

Olson's work has centered on integration efforts between Lakeville and the more diverse Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district.

Assuming the Legislature maintains state integration funding, the district will move ahead with hiring a replacement for Olson as soon as possible, said Barbara Knudsen, the district's director of teaching and learning.
