MAYFIELD INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS

What MAYFIELD INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS does

Mayfield Independent School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Mayfield, Kentucky, operating under the authority of the Kentucky Department of Education and governed by a five-member elected Board of Education with Billy Edwards serving as Superintendent. The district serves the Mayfield and Graves County community through four schools: Mayfield Elementary School (K-4), Mayfield Middle School (5-8), Mayfield High School (9-12), and the jointly operated Mayfield/Graves County Area Technology Center (ATC) for vocational training. Core student-facing offerings include tuition-free K-12 instruction, free daily breakfast and lunch for all students, preschool/Head Start programs, gifted and talented services, special education, migrant education, transportation, and summer meal programs distributed at school sites and partner community locations.

The district's technology infrastructure is anchored by Edlio as the primary content management and communications platform, powering both the official district website and The Cardinal App—a mobile application launched in August 2025 that delivers emergency alerts, push notifications, calendars, cafeteria menus, and the SB 181-compliant Edlio Conversations feature for traceable teacher-family messaging. Supporting systems include Infinite Campus for student information and parent portal access, Google Workspace (G-Suite) for staff-student communication and NTI days, GoGuardian Teacher for classroom monitoring, SchoolCast for mass phone/text/email notifications, BrainPop for educational content, RapidIdentity for single sign-on, SchoolDude for IT ticketing, EZActivityTrips for field trip management, and eStub for payroll. The district maintains a DTC/CIO-led Technology Department with technicians and digital learning coordinators across schools and runs a Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP).

As a government entity, Mayfield Independent is funded through Kentucky state education allocations (including SEEK formula funding), local property tax receipts, and federal education grants such as Title I and IDEA. The district receives no tuition revenue and operates as the legally designated provider of free public education within district boundaries. Community engagement is conducted through the district website, Cardinal App, Facebook page, Twitter/X, local media (WPSD-TV, KFVS-12, Snowman 6, WYMC radio), school events, and partnerships with the Mayfield-Graves County Chamber of Commerce, local churches, and regional universities including Murray State, University of Kentucky Gatton College, Centre College, and Morehead State University.
