Iroquois School District

• The Iroquois School District serves the communities of Cavour, Iroquois, and Yale

• Since the 1990s with the creation of open enrollment we have also served students from Sanborn Central, Carthage, DeSmet and Huron Districts

Iroquois School District• Our vision is to create a school in which everyone including

students, teachers, and parents, work together in a positive, caring environment, that will promote excellence, and helps guide students toward greater personal, academic, social, emotional and physical development. The purpose of the Iroquois School System is to provide a positive growth and learning experience for children of this community in a safe, caring, and consistent atmosphere, with due consideration being made to the rural culture and history in both the construction of the curriculum and our teaching practices. Our human material resources are completely dedicated to preparing our students for meaningful adult experiences by stressing academic, emotional, physical, and social development.

Funding FormulaThe school funding formula is based on actual enrollment on the last Friday in

September. The greater of last year’s fall enrollment number or the average of the last two years fall enrollment numbers is used to determine FY 12 state aid.
