North Fork Local School District

What North Fork Local School District does

North Fork Local School District is a public K-12 school district operating under Ohio Revised Code, headquartered at 312 Maple Avenue in Utica, Ohio, and serving students across Licking County and Knox County. The district operates four schools: Utica High School, Utica Middle School, Utica Elementary, and Newton Elementary (Newark), delivering comprehensive K-12 education alongside athletics, school counseling, special education, gifted programs, mentorship, and mental health supports. Core academic and college/career programming includes the College Credit Plus program and the XELLO career planning platform for grades 7-12.

Technology infrastructure consists entirely of vendor-provided tools with no proprietary systems: ProgressBook serves as the student information system and parent portal for grades and assessment scores, Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace support staff and student productivity, the district website runs on LINQ CMS, and students are issued iPads as part of the digital learning program. No APIs, SDKs, or proprietary integrations are disclosed.

Funding derives from local property taxes, state aid, and federal grants, with specific revenue figures not publicly disclosed. District residents receive tuition-free public education; auxiliary revenue consists of paid student lunch ($2.70 per meal at Newton Elementary for 2025-2026), activity fees, and PaySchools Central fee payments. The district is governed by an elected Board of Education and operates within a strict geographic catchment, making enrollment restricted to district residents and limited inter-district transfers under Ohio's open enrollment framework. Community partnerships with C-Tec of Licking County, Knox County Career Center, and the Licking County PROMISE initiative extend vocational and free-college pathways, while a 2026-2030 Strategic Plan governs organizational priorities through the end of the decade.
