Mahnomen School District

What Mahnomen School District does

Mahnomen ISD 432 is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 310 W Madison Avenue, Mahnomen, Minnesota, operating an elementary school and a high school that together serve resident students in Norman County. The district is a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota, governed by an elected school board and led by Superintendent Andrea Simon, with Kevin Hedstrom as High School Principal, Amanda Okeson as Elementary Principal, Jessica Gilbertson as Business Manager, Ike Hills as Director of Technology, Desiree Linden as Indian Education Director, and Jon Starkey as Elementary Dean of Students / Activities Director. Approximately 120 staff are organized across teaching, paraprofessional, administrative, food service, facilities, mental health practitioner, and support functions, spanning six pages of the staff directory.

The district's service offering extends beyond standard K-12 academics to include early childhood programming, special education services, mental health support, USDA-compliant school meal services, a Home-School Outreach program, Indian Education programming with a cultural liaison, and community education for the broader Mahnomen community. Athletic programs are delivered through a 2018 cooperative agreement with Waubun School District (Waubun-Ogema-White Earth), operating as the Mahnomen-Waubun Thunderbirds in the Pine to Prairie Conference and MSHSL. The technology layer is built on commodity K-12 SaaS: the public website runs on the Apptegy content management platform (cmsv2-assets.apptegy.net), parent and student sign-in is handled by ThrillShare, activity registration is routed through Arbitersports, and native mobile applications are distributed via the Apple App Store and Google Play.

As a government state entity, Mahnomen ISD 432 does not operate a commercial revenue model. Funding flows from Minnesota state general education aid and categorical program aid, local property tax levies authorized by the school board, and federal reimbursements through the USDA National School Lunch Program. The district complies with USDA Civil Rights requirements in its dining services and is subject to standard Minnesota Department of Education oversight. No tuition is charged to resident K-12 students; community education classes may carry registration fees. There are no subsidiaries, no parent company, no funding rounds, no patents or trademarks, and no commercial customers or awards disclosed in the input data.
