Belmond-Klemme Community Jr-Sr High School

What Belmond-Klemme Community Jr-Sr High School does

Belmond-Klemme Community School District is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the State of Iowa, headquartered in Belmond, Iowa. It operates two schools serving more than 600 students from PreK through 12th grade: Richard O. Jacobson Elementary (PreK-6, Principal Haley Offerman) and Belmond-Klemme Junior/Senior High School (grades 7-12, Principal Cynthia Jensen). The district serves the communities of Belmond, Klemme, Goodell, and Rowan, with day-to-day operations led by Superintendent Jenn Peter and governance provided by a seven-member elected Board of Education.

The district's product portfolio is comprehensive educational services: rigorous academic instruction, career and technical education pathways (FFA, FBLA, Hampton Career Center, NIACC dual enrollment), a wide athletics program (football, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, soccer, track, baseball, softball, golf, cheerleading, cross country), and an unusually deep extracurricular catalog (award-winning Jazz Band, competitive Esports, Show Choir, Thespians, Speech, National Honor Society, Silver Cord community service, Yearbook). The district is a 1:1 technology district, with each student receiving a device, and runs on a stack of third-party platforms: Infinite Campus for student information, ParentSquare for family communication, Bound for activities and ticketing, Hudl and KIOW for livestreamed athletics, and Spiceworks for internal IT ticketing. The district extends its offering through cooperative athletic partnerships with Clarion-Goldfield-Dows and Eagle Grove (soccer, wrestling, cross country) and a telehealth counseling partnership with Classroom Clinic.

The business model is non-commercial public education funding: revenues flow from state foundation aid, local property taxes, federal program reimbursements (National School Lunch and School Breakfast), and modest activity/athletic fees processed through the Bound platform. There is no tuition; participation is funded through state-set per-pupil allocations and locally levied property taxes. Go-to-market is effectively community-led enrollment within the four-community catchment, supplemented by open enrollment and parent/community engagement (PTO, community events, kindergarten roundup, ParentSquare groups).
