South Education Center is a national award-winning school in the 7400 block of South Penn Avenue in Richfield, Minnesota. It is a special education and alternative school,[1] part of Intermediate District 287.[2] Eleven school districts from Minneapolis and environs send their students to the center.[3][4] The population served is from pre-Kinder to 21 years of age. The school defines its upper-age limit as "Transition."[5] As of 2022, there were 200 students.[6] In the early 2020's, the school served about 80% minority students.[7] Federally, the school is classified as suburban.[8]

Built for 350 students, the $25.4 million building construction began in 2006, featuring lockdown capability: classrooms and areas can be electronically isolated.[9] The school features an Accessible Art Garden, opened in 2012,[10] and in 2020 the students and teachers extended their art practice to the school's fence.[11] In 2016, the school phased out its use of metal detectors and those were replaced with school safety coaches;[12][13] The school trained its staff in "trauma, crisis and de-escalation;"[14] in 2022, the school district reinstated the metal detectors.[15]

In September 2021, the Superintendent said that the school "serves some of the highest-needs students in the state."[16] In 2022, she added that the school's focus is to provide "destigmatized mental health support."[17]

Awards

The school won the 2011 Food and Nutrition Service (a department of the United States Department of Agriculture)'s Grand Prize.[18] The prize was part of the Healthy Kids Recipe Competition promoted by then-First Lady Michelle Obama.[19][20]
