Winlock School District 232

What Winlock School District 232 does

Winlock School District 232 is a public K-12 school district serving the rural community of Winlock in Lewis County, Washington. It operates two schools — Winlock Miller Elementary School (Transitional Kindergarten through 5th grade) and Winlock Middle High School (grades 6-12) — along with a co-curricular athletics program offering fall, winter, and spring sports. The district is governed by an elected five-member Board of Directors and led by Superintendent Michelle Jeffries, operating as a state government entity under Washington State law.

The district's core technology stack is built on third-party platforms rather than in-house systems. Skyward functions as the student information system, Apptegy powers the district website and mobile apps, FMX handles facilities scheduling and rentals, Thrillshare provides parent communication, and Rooms (web/iOS/Android) supports parent-teacher-coach messaging at the middle and high school. Athletic operations run on FinalForms for registration and ArbiterLive for scheduling. The only AI-enabled component is the AlwaysOn chatbot deployed on the Facilities Use Request page for multilingual constituent inquiries.

The business model is primarily funded through state education apportionment, local levies, and federal grants including Title I, special education funding, and ESSER COVID relief funds. Ancillary revenue is generated through athletic passes ($80 Red Cardinal pass for adult access to regular season home events), pay-as-you-go facilities rental to community organizations via FMX, and minor fees such as a $10 key replacement charge. The district also operates an ECEAP full-day preschool in partnership with Centralia College and a student nutrition program including SUN Bucks summer meals. The customer base is effectively captive: students and families residing within district boundaries, with no pricing-driven churn exposure.
