Marysville Exempted Village School District

What Marysville Exempted Village School District does

Marysville Exempted Village School District is a public K-12 school district organized under Ohio Revised Code and headquartered at 212 Chestnut Street in Marysville, Ohio, serving approximately 5,700 students from PreK through 12th grade across ten school buildings: five elementary schools (Edgewood, Mill Valley, Navin, Northwood, Raymond) serving grades K-4, Creekview Intermediate (grades 5-6), Bunsold Middle School (grades 7-8), Marysville High School, Early College High School, and the Mini Monarch Academy preschool. The district's instructional model is built around a personalized, mastery-based learning framework using a four-tier proficiency scale (Mastery Plus, Mastery, Approaching Mastery, Not Yet), and it supports advanced pathways including AP, honors, and College Credit Plus courses. Support services encompass special education, an English Learners program for 180+ students, gifted services, child nutrition, health services, transportation with StopFinder real-time bus tracking, School Aged Child Care (SACC) before/after-school programs, and dedicated military family resources that have earned Purple Star Designation across every school building.

The district's operational technology stack is conventional for the K-12 sector: PowerSchool functions as the student information system and parent portal for enrollment, Finalsite powers the district website, PaySchools Central processes meal payments and free/reduced-meal applications, StopFinder (Transfinder) provides bus tracking, Applitrack handles employment applications, Procare supports SACC payments, and Propio supplies on-demand interpretation services. Customer segments span general education families, students with disabilities, English Learner households, and military-connected families; the district runs a hybrid segmentation approach across use case and persona. As a government entity governed by a five-member elected Board of Education, MEVSD has no private ownership, no parent company, no funding rounds, and no M&A history; FY revenue, market capitalization, or valuation metrics are not applicable.

The district's revenue mechanics are characteristic of a tax-funded public entity rather than a commercial business: operating funds derive primarily from local property taxes, state of Ohio foundation funding, and federal categorical grants (Title I, IDEA-B, plus various state grants). Modest fee-based streams include transaction-based meal sales ($2.25-$3.75 per meal with reduced-price coverage from the State of Ohio for the 2026-2027 school year), preschool tuition of $175 per month paid September through May for the Mini Monarch peer-model program, and ancillary fees for SACC. Marketing and community outreach are conducted through the district website, Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, the bilingual Monarch Monthly newsletter, Board of Education community coffees, Let's Talk community engagement meetings, and local radio/TV partnerships for weather-related communications. The district is led by Superintendent Dr. Zack Howard, Treasurer/CFO Todd Johnson, and two Assistant Superintendents, with directors overseeing Operations, Maintenance, Human Resources, Food & Nutrition, IT, Transportation, Student Services, Teaching & Learning, and SACC.
