Shelton Public Schools

What Shelton Public Schools does

Shelton Public Schools is a public K-12 school district governed by the elected Shelton Board of Education, serving the residents of Shelton, Connecticut from a central administrative office at 382 Long Hill Avenue. The district operates eight schools: five neighborhood elementary schools (Booth Hill, Elizabeth Shelton, Long Hill, Mohegan, Sunnyside) serving grades K-4, Perry Hill Upper Elementary (grades 5-6), Shelton Intermediate School (grades 7-8), and Shelton High School (grades 9-12). Beyond K-12, the district runs a no-cost, half-day Pre-Kindergarten special education program at Mohegan and Long Hill Elementary Schools for students ages 3-4, and partners with Valley Regional Adult Education (VRAE) to deliver ESL, GED preparation, and credit diploma programs to adult learners.

The district's technology backbone was built around Google Apps for Education — implemented district-wide in February 2014 — providing email (grades 5-12), Calendar, Docs, Sites, and Drive to students and staff. The student information layer runs on Infinite Campus with a Parent Portal for grades, schedules, and fee payments, fronted by Clever single sign-on for access to a broad catalog of learning platforms including Naviance (college/career readiness), Lexia (Core5, PowerUp, Reading Strategies), IXL, Raz Kids Plus, Read 180 Universal, Do The Math, Khan Academy, Rosetta Stone, Gizmos, Newsela, Symphony Math, Imagine Learning, and Epic!. Operational systems include Frontline/AESOP for substitute placement, Applitrack for hiring, ProTraxx for professional development, and Panorama Education for student feedback analytics. Transportation is managed via an RFID bus card system with stop-light camera-equipped buses, and athletic operations are digital-first through FinalForms registration, GoFan ticketing, and NFHS Network streaming.

As a Connecticut municipal education authority operating under state General Statutes, Shelton Public Schools is funded through a combination of local property taxes, the state's Education Cost Sharing (ECS) formula, and federal education grants — no tuition is charged for K-12 instruction. The only direct fees are athletic pay-to-participate charges (added to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal after tryouts) and ancillary programs such as the Mentor Program. Student data privacy is governed by Connecticut's Student Data Privacy Act (PA 16-189), with the district maintaining an approved technology resources list for third-party vendor compliance. The district is led by Superintendent Dr. Kenneth D. Saranich alongside directors of Finance, Special Education, Facilities, Technology, Human Resources, Athletics, Security, and Curriculum/Support Services.
