What Msd Of Shakamak does

MSD of Shakamak (Metropolitan School District of Shakamak) is a public K-12 school district organized under Indiana state law and headquartered at 9233 Shakamak School Rd in Jasonville, Indiana, between Jasonville and Shakamak State Park. The district operates three schools — Shakamak Elementary School (K-6), Shakamak Jr/Sr High School (grades 7-12), and Crossroads Academy (alternative education) — along with the REACH enrichment program and, as of September 2025, the Greene Beginnings preschool classroom for three-year-olds.

The district's core technology consists of an Apptegy-hosted website platform for news, announcements, calendars, and document distribution, complemented by the Harmony Family Access portal that gives parents and students access to grades, attendance, and announcements. In November 2025 the district added a native mobile app on iOS and Android, expanding its digital communication footprint. Athletics are branded under the 'Lakers' identity with a dedicated athletics website, and the district runs a cafeteria meal program.

As a government entity, MSD of Shakamak does not charge tuition; it is funded through a combination of state education appropriations, local property taxes, and federal education funding, and is preparing Referendum 2026 to seek voter approval for additional operating and capital funding. The district is governed by an elected school board with day-to-day administration led by Superintendent Dr. Jacinda Smith, who has represented the district at the ISBA and IAPSS conferences on career readiness partnerships.
