# Eden Prairie Public Schools *Minnesota school district named on the federal Office for Civil Rights' open Title VI shared-ancestry investigation list.* Eden Prairie Public Schools is a Minnesota school district. In the project's record it appears in one at-issue entry. That entry records that the federal [[Office for Civil Rights]]' open [[Title VI]] shared-ancestry investigation list names exactly two Minnesota institutions: Eden Prairie Public Schools and [[Edina Public Schools]].[^1] The record does not establish what the investigation concerns. It also does not establish any finding against the district, or the investigation's status after the entry was compiled.[^1] The entry comes from a Carver County claims-exposure matrix dated 2026-09-02, which reports its check of the list as partial. According to the matrix, the general OCR pending-cases database returned HTTP 403 to automated access and could not be checked.[^1] The listing is separate from the [[United States Department of Justice]]'s pending suit against the State. That suit was announced in release No. 26-21 of January 14, 2026, titled *United States Department of Justice Files Lawsuit Against Minnesota's 'Affirmative Action' Regime*.[^2] The record does not connect that suit to the district.[^3] ## Who Eden Prairie Public Schools and Edina Public Schools are the two Minnesota institutions named on the Office for Civil Rights' open Title VI shared-ancestry investigation list, as that list stood when the matrix was compiled.[^1] No complaint, order, resolution or other disposition concerning the district appears in the record.[^1] ## In the at-issue record The at-issue entry (AI-Carver-086) sets two results side by side. First, the readable federal enforcement list names Eden Prairie Public Schools and Edina Public Schools. Second, the same list names no Carver County entity.[^1] The entry gives a single source of the "record" kind on the ed.gov domain. Its anchor is a January 2025 presidential action.[^1] The matrix treats the enforcement list as the external grader for its county review. Because the pending-cases database could not be read, it reports the Carver County result as a partial clearance rather than a full one.[^1] The pending federal action against the State is *[[United States v. State of Minnesota (0:26-cv-00273)]]*, No. 0:26-cv-00273 (D. Minn.). It was filed January 14, 2026, under [[Title VII]] of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]]. The complaint cites [[Minn. Stat. § 43A.191]] eight times. These citations include subd. 3(c)'s requirement that an agency explain the reason for hiring a non-affirmative candidate.[^3] Attorney General Pamela Bondi certified the case as a matter of general public importance.[^2] The suit concerns state hiring under § 43A.191. It is a different matter from the Title VI investigation listing that names the district.[^3] ## Notes [^1]: The White House, *presidential action* (January 2025) — the anchor URL of at-issue entry AI-Carver-086 in the Carver County claims-exposure matrix (2026-09-02), which records that the OCR open Title VI shared-ancestry list names Eden Prairie Public Schools and Edina Public Schools, that no Carver County entity appears, and that the OCR pending-cases database returned HTTP 403; the matrix gives its reason as "the enforcement list is the external grader, and the county is not on the readable part of it." https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/ending-illegal-discrimination-and-restoring-merit-based-opportunity/ [^2]: U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Public Affairs, *United States Department of Justice Files Lawsuit Against Minnesota's 'Affirmative Action' Regime*, release No. 26-21 (Jan. 14, 2026) — the release title and the Attorney General's certification of general public importance. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/united-states-department-justice-files-lawsuit-against-minnesotas-affirmative-action-regime [^3]: U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, *Complaint, United States v.
