Tishomingo County School District

What Tishomingo County School District does

Tishomingo County School District is a Special Municipal Separate School District under Mississippi state law, operating as the sole public K-12 education provider for Tishomingo County, Mississippi. The district operates eight campuses — Alternative School, Belmont School, Burnsville School, Career & Technical Center, Iuka Elementary, Iuka Middle School, Tishomingo County High School, and Tishomingo School — headquartered at 1620 Paul Edmondson Drive in Iuka. It serves K-12 students countywide with programs spanning college preparatory academics, career and technical education, special education, gifted education, and early childhood education, and is led by Superintendent Christie Holly who has held the district's first 'A' accountability rating since 2018.

The district's core technology infrastructure centers on a 1:1 iPad initiative deploying iPad 10.2-Inch 9th Gen devices with Logitech Rugged Combo keyboards to all K-12 students, supported by a dual-LMS architecture (Canvas for grades 7-12, Google Classroom for K-6) and integrated third-party platforms including Clever for SSO, Renaissance and STEMscopes for curriculum, Major Clarity for career readiness, Paper for 24/7 tutoring, STOPit for safety reporting, SchoolCafe for meal payments, and Freshdesk for IT ticketing. CIPA-compliant content filtering extends both on and off campus, and Apple Teacher credentialing provides structured faculty professional development.

The business model is entirely government-funded: revenue derives from Mississippi Department of Education per-pupil allocations, federal USDA child nutrition reimbursements, federal Title and special education program funding, and local property taxes, with minor supplemental income from a $20 annual technology fee for grades 7-12 and meal receipts ($2.25 breakfast, $3.50 lunch). Enrollment is open to district residents at no tuition cost, distribution occurs through direct enrollment at the eight campuses, and the district has no private equity, venture, or parent-company ownership structure.
