North Marion School District 15

What North Marion School District 15 does

North Marion School District 15 is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 20256 Grim Road NE, Aurora, Oregon, serving students in Marion County. Founded in 1950, the district operates four schools: North Marion Primary School (K-2), North Marion Intermediate School (grades 3-5), North Marion Middle School (grades 6-8), and North Marion High School (grades 9-12). The district is governed by a Board of Directors and led by Superintendent Dan Busch, with a workforce of 101-250 employees spanning instructional, administrative, student services, and operational functions.

The district's technology infrastructure consists of vendor-provided educational platforms rather than proprietary systems, including PowerSchool for student information, Canvas as the learning management system, Clever for single sign-on, Securly for online student safety monitoring, and InTouch/MyMealTime for meal payments. Administrative systems include TalentEd for HR, FMX for IT ticketing, Aesop/Frontline for substitute management, iVisions for payroll, and GoToConnect for telephony. Programmatic offerings include AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) for college and career readiness, RULER and Sources of Strength for social-emotional learning, Title I-A and Title IX programs, bilingual support for Spanish-speaking families, and a free meal program covering all K-12 students.

Revenue is derived from state education funding, federal programs (Title I, Title IX, Summer Food Service Program), and local property taxes — a funding model characteristic of Oregon public school districts. The district does not generate commercial revenue; meal payments ($3 breakfast / $5 lunch for adults, $0.65 milk-only) represent negligible offset against nutrition services costs. Customer segments are exclusively K-12 students residing within district boundaries, with secondary stakeholder engagement directed at families and the broader Aurora-area community through ParentSquare notifications, district website, and social media channels. The district maintains compliance with Section 504, Title II ADA, Title IX, and claims WCAG 2.1 AA website accessibility conformance.
