Morrow County School District

What Morrow County School District does

Morrow County School District is a publicly funded K-12 school district operating under the government of Morrow County, Oregon. The district runs a network of 10 schools, including five elementary schools (Sam Boardman Elementary, Windy River Elementary, Heppner Elementary, A. C. Houghton Elementary, and Irrigon Elementary), three combined junior/senior high schools (Riverside Jr/Sr High, Heppner Jr/Sr High, and Irrigon Jr/Sr High), and the Morrow Education Center, an alternative education program. It serves students and families across the geographically dispersed rural county, with 156 employees and a central district office located at 235 E. Stansbury St., Heppner, Oregon.

The district operates on a publicly funded revenue model: tuition and core educational services are free, with funding drawn from local property tax levies, Oregon state education allocations, and voter-approved bond measures for capital projects. It reaches its community through a community-led engagement model that includes a Community Bond Advisory Committee, an elected school board, public meetings, and partnerships with local organizations. Distribution is delivered both in-person at school campuses and through digital channels, including the district website (morrow.k12.or.us), dedicated iOS and Android mobile apps via Apptegy, and a parent/student portal via Thrillshare.

The district does not maintain proprietary technology; its technology stack is composed of third-party K-12 platforms, including Apptegy for website and mobile apps, Thrillshare for the parent/student portal, Nutrislice for school meal menus, the Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) for board policy hosting, and Safe Oregon for anonymous safety reporting. There is no evidence of AI/ML capability, proprietary software products, or commercial product offerings; the entity is a public education service provider rather than a technology company.
