East Jordan Public School District

What East Jordan Public School District does

East Jordan Public School District (EJPS) is a government state entity — a small rural public K-12 school district headquartered at 304 Fourth Street, East Jordan, Michigan — that delivers kindergarten-through-12th-grade education to local families within the East Jordan district boundaries. The district operates two physical campuses: an Elementary School (K-5) and a combined Middle/High School (6-12) offering a curriculum that mixes college preparatory coursework with Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes, athletics, and food services. It also runs the Northern Michigan Innovation Academy, an online program extending its educational reach across Northern Michigan.

The district is integrated with a wraparound community ecosystem that includes the East Jordan Wellness Center (providing preventative health and mental health counseling) and Communities In Schools (CIS), which connects students to non-academic supports such as clothing, tutoring, and counseling referrals. Its technology backbone consists of standard K-12 administrative and instructional SaaS — Schoology for learning management, PowerSchool for student information, e-funds for schools for fee/lunch payments, and Meal Magic for food service — together with district-branded mobile applications for iOS and Android that expose these services to parents and students.

EJPS is funded through the standard Michigan public school revenue stack of per-pupil state foundation allowance, local property taxes, and categorical state and federal grants (e.g., Title I, special education, CTE). The district holds no parent company, has no subsidiaries, and operates as a public monopoly within its legally assigned service territory under the governance of the Michigan Department of Education.
