Manitowoc Public School District (MPSD) is a public school district in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, serving Manitowoc and the surrounding area. It has about 600 teachers and other employees and enrolls about 5,100 students. Its current superintendent is Mark Holzman. After East Junior High in Wisconsin Rapids closed after the 2017–18 school year, MPSD became the only school district in the state of Wisconsin whose local high school does not serve grade 9.
History
In April 2015 a $2 million referendum was approved to increase the district's budget cap.[1] In May 2018 MPSD approved a realignment plan that would move 9th graders to Lincoln High School, 6th graders to Washington and Wilson Junior High, and kindergarten to local elementary schools. The plan also moves students at Stangel Elementary to Riverview Early Learning Center, and students at McKinley Academy to Stangel. This plan will take effect in the 2019–20 school year.[2]
