Superior School District #3

What Superior School District #3 does

Superior School District #3 is a public K-12 school district located in Superior, Mineral County, Montana, founded in 1918 and operating under the authority of the Montana Office of Public Instruction. The district runs two schools — Superior Elementary School and a Junior High/High School — serving the local student population within its legally defined geographic boundaries. Its stated mission is "Everyone Working Together for a Superior Education," and academic programs include Title I support, Title IX compliance, dual enrollment for college credit, driver's education, and graduation requirements aligned with Montana state standards. Extracurricular life centers on Bobcat Athletics, the district's branded high school sports programs.

The district's technology stack is built on three third-party SaaS platforms: Apptegy powers the district website (ssd3.us), Infinite Campus provides the student information portal for grades, attendance, and academic records, and ThrillShare handles parent and community communication via a single sign-on ID system. Mobile applications are distributed via the Apple App Store and Google Play, and social media presence is maintained under the @superiorbobcats handle on Facebook and X/Twitter. Governance is provided by an elected School Board of Trustees operating under board policy managed through the Simbli eBoardsolutions platform.

As a government state entity, the district does not operate a commercial business model. There is no pricing, no revenue capture, and no private ownership; funding flows from Montana state education allocations, local property tax levies, and federal grants (including Title I and ARP ESSER). The entity is not investable, not acquirable, and not subject to M&A; ownership_commentary explicitly states there is no parent company or private ownership structure. The organization has 14 reported employees and is actively operating, with current calendars, events, and employment postings visible on its website.
