Warred Public Schools

What Warred Public Schools does

Warroad Public Schools (Independent School District #690) is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 510 Cedar Ave NW, Warroad, Minnesota, serving approximately 1,000 students across the rural communities of Warroad, Northwest Angle, Roosevelt, Salol and Swift. The district was founded in 1917 and operates through four wholly owned academic buildings: the Warroad Early Learners Center (preschool and Early Childhood Family Education), Angle Inlet Elementary School (grades K-6, including the only surviving one-room school in Minnesota), Warroad Elementary School (grades K-5), and Warroad High School (grades 6-12), supplemented by Warroad Community Education for adult and continuing education programs. Programming is anchored by a celebrated Indian Education Program, Advanced Placement courses, a College-In-The-High-School program offering more than 30 transferable credits, NASA FIRST Robotics and High Mileage Car competitions, and over 65 percent student participation in athletic, fine arts, music, Indian Ed, or STEM extracurriculars. Assets include a $15 million Marvin Scholarship endowment that disburses an average of $5,517 per year for two-year programs and $9,580 per year for four-year programs to district graduates.

The district's technology stack is a conventional K-12 edtech architecture: a Chromebook 1:1 device program (devices stay at school for K-6, taken home for grades 7-12), Infinite Campus as the student information and parent portal, Schoology as the learning management system, ClassLink for single sign-on, School Dismissal Manager for dismissal and attendance tracking, IncidentIQ for maintenance requests, Google Workspace for staff operations, Warroad Payments for fee collection, and an Apptegy-powered district website with a custom mobile application featuring an integrated Rooms two-way messaging and classroom-announcements module. No proprietary technology is developed in-house beyond the Apptegy-skinned app configuration and the Rooms communication workflow.

As a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota, Warroad Public Schools is funded primarily through state education aid and local property tax levies, with the district governed by an elected school board (currently chaired by Blayke Nelson). Supplementary commercial revenue streams include meal sales (marginal in the 2025-2026 year due to participation in the Minnesota Free Schools Meals Program, where each student receives one free breakfast and lunch per day; additional items and milk are priced at $0.50-$5.25), activity and program fees collected through Warroad Payments (athletics, field trips, Chromebook insurance, community education), and Community Education fees such as the $450 Driver's Education course, summer camps, swim lessons, and firearm safety courses. The district does not operate as a commercial enterprise; it has no funding rounds, no private equity ownership, and no M&A activity, and its customer base is geographically captive within the legally defined ISD #690 service territory.
