What Interlakes School District does

Inter-Lakes School District is a public K-12 school district operating under New Hampshire's School Administrative Unit 2 (SAU 2) and serving the communities of Center Harbor, Meredith, and Sandwich. The district operates three schools: Sandwich Central School (K-6), Inter-Lakes Elementary School (K-6), and Inter-Lakes Middle/High School (grades 7-12), and is governed by an elected seven-member School Board. Services delivered include academic instruction, athletics, school counseling with college preparation, career exploration and dual-enrollment opportunities, special education (ages 3-22, FAPE-compliant), food services, library services, facilities management, and a community auditorium available for rental.

The district's underlying technology stack is standard K-12 educational infrastructure rather than a proprietary platform. It includes a district-wide 1-to-1 Chromebook Program for grades 1-12, Google Workspace for Education with mandatory multi-factor authentication for staff, the Alma Student Information System providing families online access to attendance and grade information, PaperCut for print management, and ParentSquare as a unified school-to-home communications platform. Data privacy practices are designed to comply with FERPA, COPPA, CIPA, PPRA, and New Hampshire state laws.

The district is funded through a combination of local property taxes, state education adequacy funding, and federal education grants — typical of a New Hampshire public school district. Ancillary revenue is generated via the school nutrition program (breakfast at $2.00; lunch $3.40-$3.65; reduced-price meals at $0.40 for qualifying families) and auditorium rental fees. No private ownership exists; the district is a government/state entity and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
