What Salem School District WI does

Salem School District is a public K-8 school district and unit of local government located in Salem, Wisconsin (Kenosha County), operating a single campus at 8828 Antioch Road. The district serves approximately 700 students through a 4-year-old kindergarten program and grades K-8, with a school-day schedule of 8:20 AM to 3:40 PM for K-8 and split AM/PM sessions for 4K. Programming extends beyond core academics to athletics (cross country, basketball, volleyball, track, softball, cheerleading for grades 5-8), clubs and after-school activities (Cooking Club, Underground Library, Open Gym, Student Senate), an esports program, and fine arts (band, music, visual arts). Student services include counseling (WINGS, SAIL, SOAR), special education, Section 504 plans, McKinney-Vento homeless assistance, school psychology, nursing, and academic/career planning; mental-health coordination is provided through a partnership with Care Solace.

The district runs on a standard K-12 educational technology stack: Skyward for the student information system, family access portal, teacher gradebook, and employee (ERMA) module; Google Workspace (Classroom, Drive, Forms, Sites) for instruction and administration; Clever for single sign-on; Apptegy for the district website and mobile apps; ThrillShare for district communications and notifications; Raptor for visitor management and building security; FD MealPlanner for school meal payments; Rooms for parent-teacher messaging; and NEOLA for policy management. Food service is outsourced to Whitsons Culinary Group, and after-school enrichment is delivered in part through third-party providers (Chess Scholars, Afterschool Enrichment Solutions).

Revenue is not commercially generated. The district is funded through local property taxes, state educational aid from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction under the state funding formula, and federal grants. Auxiliary revenue streams include athletic participation fees ($45 per sport per season, $200 annual cap per athlete), club fees ($30, with exemptions for free/reduced-lunch students), and the food service account program. The district operates a Wisconsin interdistrict open enrollment program allowing out-of-boundary families to apply, and runs an adult community education portal (portal.salem.k12.wi.us) for non-K-8 programming on the campus.
