What Itawamba County School District does

Itawamba County School District (ICSD) is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 605 S. Cummings St., Fulton, Mississippi, operating eight schools and attendance centers across Itawamba County: Dorsey Attendance Center, Fairview Attendance Center, Itawamba Agricultural High School, Itawamba Attendance Center, Itawamba Career & Technical Center, Mantachie Elementary School, Mantachie High School, and Tremont Attendance Center. The district employs approximately 500 faculty and staff who serve resident K-12 students with academic instruction, college preparation (ACT testing), career and technical education, special education under IDEA, gifted education, athletics, and student support services including counseling, psychology, speech-language therapy, and attendance monitoring. ICSD also administers a USDA-compliant Child Nutrition program offering breakfast and lunch at publicly posted prices ($3.75 full paid lunch, $0.40 reduced lunch, $2.75 full paid breakfast, $0.30 reduced breakfast, with adult meals and a la carte items available).

The district's technology stack is built on a third-party platform architecture rather than proprietary systems. The primary web presence runs on Finalsite, the Child Nutrition program integrates Health-e Pro My School Menus for online menu publication, MySchoolBucks for meal account management, and mySchoolApps for free/reduced-price eligibility applications. Parent communications flow through SchoolStatus and AIMs for automated phone, text, and email notifications, while internal workflows use Google Forms for IT work orders and new employee email requests. SIMBLI eBoard Solutions manages school board policy publication. The district has released mobile applications (ICSD Mobile App and MSM Mobile App) for on-the-go access to menus and district information.

ICSD is a government state entity organized under Mississippi state law and overseen by the Mississippi Department of Education. It is governed by an elected five-member Board of Education (with Dr. Wes Pitts serving as Board President representing the 2nd District) and is led by Interim Superintendent Dr. Mitzi Moore for the 2026-2027 school year. Revenue is derived from state MAEP allocations tied to enrollment and demographics, federal grants (IDEA Part B and Preschool, Title I, and other federal education programs), local property tax, and modest student meal payments. The district is currently operating a five-year ICSD Strategic Plan guided by a cross-sector steering committee that includes students, teachers, administrators, parents, business leaders, faith leaders, and county supervisors.
