Mound Bayou Public School District
Template:Short description Template:Use American English Template:Use mdy dates The Mound Bayou Public School District was a public school district with its headquarters in Mound Bayou, Mississippi (USA).
In addition to Mound Bayou, the district also served the town of Winstonville.[1]
On July 1, 2014 consolidated with the North Bolivar School District in Shelby, Mississippi to form the North Bolivar Consolidated School District. The central office for this consolidated district is located in Mound Bayou.[2]
Schools
- John F. Kennedy Memorial High School (Grades 7-12)
- I.T. Montgomery Elementary School (Grades K-6)
- It was named after Isaiah Montgomery, cofounder of Mound Bayou.[3]
Operations
In 2006 the school district's taxing resulted in the district spending $222 per student, taking up 5% of the operating costs, with other entities paying for the rest. This made Mound Bayou the poorest overall district in Mississippi, though not poorest in terms of taxable property.[4] The State of Mississippi overall funded a greater percentage of the district's costs compared to a school district with more taxable property and/or funds from taxation.[5]
Performance
Circa 2012 the State of Mississippi ranked the district "successful", the only Mississippi Delta district to get that distinction. In addition a Mississippi Business Journal article from that year concluded that of all Mississippi school districts Mound Bayou was the most financially stable. After the merger with North Bolivar perception of Mound Bayou district residents was that the state had interfered with a previously stable school district.[6]
