What Bedford School District does

Bedford School District is a public K-12 school district operating as School Administrative Unit (SAU) #25 under New Hampshire state law, serving the Town of Bedford, NH from its headquarters at 103 County Road. The district operates six schools spanning K-12: Bedford High School (grades 9-12), Ross A. Lurgio Middle School (6-8), McKelvie Intermediate School (5-6), and three elementary schools - Memorial, Peter Woodbury, and Riddle Brook - each serving K-4. Its mission emphasizes developing curious, resourceful, and respectful learners with academic achievement as the highest priority, delivered through structured curriculum programs including Special Services (504, Extended School Year, Child Find), Title 1, ELL, enrichment programs, and a dedicated Artificial Intelligence curriculum strand.

The district's product and technology stack is built almost entirely on a small set of third-party SaaS tools rather than proprietary systems. PowerSchool serves as the student information system for grades, attendance, and records, accessible via parent and teacher portals. Tyler Portico provides employee self-service, Frontline handles HR and absence/substitute management, TimeClock Plus handles timekeeping, IncidentIQ handles facilities and IT work orders, Titan K12 manages free-and-reduced lunch applications, and Google Data Studio publishes a public performance dashboard. The district website itself is hosted on Google Sites. Annual educator professional development is delivered through SCTI (Summer Curriculum & Technology Institute).

The district is a government entity, not a commercial enterprise. It is funded through local property taxes, New Hampshire state education aid, and federal grants. No tuition is charged to district residents; a non-resident tuition application process exists for out-of-district families. The customer base is enrollment-driven and strictly geographic (district residents), supplemented by partnerships with the Town of Bedford, Bedford Education Foundation, Bedford PTG, Bedford Public Library, BCTV, and Tutor.com for community programming. The district maintains a non-discrimination/equal-access compliance posture consistent with FERPA-style student data handling, and has no disclosed revenue, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no equities.
