Windsor Locks Board of Education

What Windsor Locks Board of Education does

Windsor Locks Board of Education governs Windsor Locks Public Schools, a Connecticut public K-12 district serving the residents of Windsor Locks, CT. The district operates six schools — North Street School (PreK-2), South Elementary School (3-5), Windsor Locks Middle School (6-8), Windsor Locks High School (9-12), Pine Meadow Academy (alternative 9-12), and RISE Transition Academy (ages 18-21) — plus an adult education program delivered through a partnership with Enfield Adult Education. Specialized programs include the STEPs ABA-based special education track (PreK-12) and Mastery-Based Learning as a district-wide instructional approach. All students receive free meals through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), and PreK enrollment is lottery-based due to limited space.

The district's technology stack is built on commercial K-12 SaaS: PowerSchool as the student information system, ParentSquare for district-wide family communications, MySchoolBucks for meal payments, Google Workspace for administrative productivity, and IncidentIQ for facility management. NEASC accreditation certifies the district against external quality standards. The district is led by Superintendent Shawn Parkhurst with an Executive team covering Curriculum, Operations/HR, Finance, Facilities, Technology, and Pupil Services; governance is provided by an elected Board of Education chaired by Alba Osorio.

Revenue is derived entirely from public funding sources: local property taxes, state education aid, and federal grants. There is no tuition for K-12 education or adult education programs; a small number of enrichment courses carry fees. As a government entity, the district has no parent company, no private shareholders, and no capital markets activity — making conventional investment metrics such as ARR or valuation inapplicable.
