Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District

What Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District does

Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District (CEISD) is a public, non-profit Intermediate School District serving the Charlevoix-Emmet region of Michigan. Headquartered in Charlevoix and operating under the charemisd.org domain, the entity functions as an intermediate-tier public education authority that supports local constituent school districts with educational services and leadership across the two counties. Its primary served population is K-12 students in the district's service area, and it provides educational programs and athletic opportunities for those students.

CEISD's operating model is that of a Michigan Intermediate School District: a statutorily defined public authority funded primarily through state foundation allowance allocations, local property taxes, and categorical state and federal aid, rather than commercial pricing or tuition. The district's offerings span core educational programs plus extracurricular activities, including athletics such as the Charlevoix boys golf team. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range, consistent with a small administrative intermediate body rather than a directly operated school.

The source data also documents a community-engagement episode in which a team van accident hospitalized several Charlevoix boys golf team members and coach Doug Drenth; the surrounding community mounted a fundraising effort that exceeded $200,000 to cover uninsured rehabilitation expenses, and CEISD facilitated a partnership with former Detroit Red Wings strength coach Mike Barwis to deliver specialized therapy sessions in Florida. Outside this partnership and the website, no technology stack, product portfolio, partnerships, awards, M&A activity, or financial disclosures were available in the source set, and the firm's website returned a verification page rather than substantive content during data collection.
