Campbell County School District

What Campbell County School District does

Campbell County School District (CCSD) is a public K-12 education provider serving more than 8,500 students across 24 schools in northeast Wyoming, headquartered in Gillette. It is the third-largest school district in the state by enrollment and operates as a government entity funded primarily through Wyoming state aid, local property taxes, federal programs (Title I, IDEA, child nutrition), student meal sales, and activity fees. CCSD employs approximately 1,800 full-time and part-time staff spanning instruction, administration, transportation (nearly 5,000 students daily, over 2 million annual bus miles), nutrition services (over 1 million meals annually), and facilities maintenance.

The district's product surface extends beyond core K-12 instruction to include Campbell County Virtual School for online learning, specialized facilities (Planetarium, Aquatic Center, Science Center-Adventurarium), dual-language immersion, career and technical education, gifted and talented programs, and the recently launched Project SEARCH transition program for students with disabilities. Ancillary service pricing is transaction-based, with elementary breakfast at $1.50, secondary breakfast at $1.75, elementary lunch at $2.75, and secondary lunch at $3.25, alongside reduced-price and free eligibility under federal means-testing.

Operationally, CCSD runs on a standard enterprise K-12 technology stack: PowerSchool for student information and the parent portal, Schoology as the learning management system, Tyler Portico for employee self-service, Microsoft Office 365 for staff and students, Finalsite for the district website, Pay Schools Central for meal payments, SmartFind for automated parent communications, Finalsite-powered calendars, and Here Comes the Bus for live bus tracking. Governance sits with a seven-member elected Board of Trustees; Dr. Alex Ayers has served as Superintendent since 2018 and with the district for over 20 years. The district is currently executing its most significant capital project in recent history: the new Campbell County High School, designed for 1,200 students across approximately 220,000 square feet, with phase one beginning in early March 2026 and funded by state bond allocation.
