Yellow Medicine East High School

What Yellow Medicine East High School does

Yellow Medicine East School District (ISD 2190) is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 450 9th Avenue in Granite Falls, Minnesota, operating under the authority of the Minnesota Department of Education. The district serves pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students across two main campuses: Bert Raney Elementary (PK-5) at 555 7th Avenue and the combined Yellow Medicine East Middle/High School (grades 6-12). Supplemental programs include Early Childhood Education / Little Stingers Preschool, Bert's Club before/after-school and summer care, Community Education classes, Activities & Athletics under the Minnesota State High School League, Indian Education, Language Instruction Educational Program (LIEP) for English learners, and Achievement & Integration initiatives.

The district's underlying technology stack is composed of standard K-12 sector platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure. The public-facing site runs on Finalsite; student information, grade reporting, and the parent portal are powered by JMC (isd2190.onlinejmc.com), with Skyward used separately for the MVCC and YME instances. SMARTeR handles assessment, Red Rover manages enrollment and staff access, ArbiterSports processes athletics registration, RSchoolToday operates the Sting Store for merchandise and fee payments, GoLexandria runs the library catalog, QuickApp handles background checks, and BoardBook manages school board agendas. The 1-to-1 Technology Program supplies iPads to grades K-3 and Chromebooks to grades 4-12 (with daily take-home in grades 6-12), and an eLearning platform supports instruction during weather-related closures. The district's website is maintained to WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility standards.

Revenue is generated primarily through Minnesota state education aid tied to enrollment and attendance formulas, local property tax levies, and federal grant programs including Title I and Indian Education. Secondary revenue streams include school meal sales (Adult Breakfast $4, Adult Lunch $6), Community Education fees, and Bert's Club summer program fees. Distribution is direct to district-resident families through physical school buildings and an online enrollment portal; out-of-district students may participate via open enrollment. The district is currently executing a $74.395 million voter-approved bond-funded facilities construction project that began site preparation in mid-2026.
