Chequamegon School District

What Chequamegon School District does

Chequamegon School District is a public K-12 school district organized under Wisconsin state law, serving students from 4-Year-Old Kindergarten through 12th grade across a 741 square-mile geographic catchment in northern Wisconsin. The district operates four schools across two campuses: Park Falls Elementary School (4K-5) and Chequamegon High School (9-12) at the South Campus in Park Falls, and Glidden Elementary School (4K-2) and Chequamegon Middle School (6-8) at the North Campus in Glidden. The technology stack is built on standard educational SaaS: Infinite Campus for student information, Google Workspace for Education and Chromebooks for productivity and 1:1 devices, Moodle for LMS, and Edgenuity/Odysseyware for online and virtual curriculum. Digital operations are supported by Finalsite (CMS), Skyward (finance/HR), WECAN (employment), Parchment (transcripts), Turnitin (academic integrity), and Class Dojo (parent communication at the elementary level). The district is governed by an elected Board of Education and operates under the oversight of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

The district is funded primarily through Wisconsin state aid and local property taxes, with annual budget cycles and no equity owners. Auxiliary revenue sources include food service (paid meals $1.45-$3.10), community pool access ($2 per visit, $30 punch card, $50/$150 season passes), swim lessons ($7), and facility rentals — all immaterial relative to the core public funding base. Enrollment is open to district residents via the Infinite Campus online registration portal, with Wisconsin inter-district open enrollment available for non-residents (2026-2027 plan shows no regular-education capacity limits). Auxiliary programs include a Rural Virtual Academy (full-time online option), Widening Our World (W.O.W.) student enrichment funding, Career and Technical Education, Youth Apprenticeship, Title I federal supplemental programs, and dual-credit partnerships with Northcentral Technical College through the Early College Credit Program and Start College Now Program. The district also operates approximately 709 acres of school forest across Ashland, Iron, and Price Counties (including the 424-acre Tracy Lake School Forest) and a community swimming pool inside the high school building, both serving as educational and community anchors.

Marketing and distribution rely on the district website (csdk12.net), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, the Eagle Newsletter, and community events/listening sessions. Channel-specific pricing is limited to food service and pool programs. The district received an "Exceeds Expectations" rating from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, was named a 2024-2025 DPI School of Recognition, Chequamegon High School earned 2025 AP School Honor Roll status, and was named a 2025-2026 National Best High School by US News and World Report.
