Northridge Local School District

What Northridge Local School District does

Northridge Local School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 2008 Timber Lane in Dayton, Ohio, operating as a government entity under Ohio Department of Education oversight. It serves preschool through 12th-grade students across three school buildings — Northridge High School (grades 9-12), Northridge Middle School (grades 6-8), and Northridge Elementary School (PK-5) — plus two preschool programs (Wee Cubs and Champions) for children ages 3-5. The district is governed by a five-member elected Board of Education with David A. Jackson serving as Superintendent and Lori Green as Treasurer/CFO.

The district's product surface is comprehensive K-12 public education delivered free of charge to district residents, supplemented by Special Education services (ages 3-21 per IDEIA), English Language Learner support, gifted education, career-technical education through a partnership with Miami Valley Career Technology Center, and a College Credit Plus dual-enrollment program with Sinclair Community College. Administrative services include attendance management (multi-channel: phone, email, online forms), student transportation, school health services through Primary Health Solutions, food service via the Polar Bear Cafe, and guidance counseling across all school levels. The district's technology stack is built on a Google Workspace for Education backbone with SSO into ProgressBook (META Solutions) for the student information system, NWEA MAP for assessment, Edgenuity for online learning and credit recovery, CharacterStrong for social-emotional learning, Amplify and Acadience for literacy, SameGoal for IEP management, and ParentSquare for family communication. Calendar data is exposed via iCal feeds, and board governance runs on BoardDocs.

The district's business model is non-commercial public-sector funding: revenue comes from local property taxes, state education funding from Ohio, and federal education grants and programs. Education services are provided free of charge; there is no tuition and no product sales. Marketing and family engagement rely on a district website, Facebook page, monthly Polar Press newsletter (grades 6-12), ParentSquare messaging, and building-level absence reporting forms. Distribution is exclusively in-person at the three school locations within the Dayton attendance boundary, with no geographic expansion outside the district's statutory zone.
