Fairmount Public School District 18[3] is a public school district headquartered in Fairmount, North Dakota. It operates one school, K-12: Fairmount Public School.[4]

The district includes Fairmount Township and sections of Devillo and LaMars townships.[5]

History

[edit]

In 1965, the district held a bond election for building a facility for elementary school. The voters approved it on a 324-64 basis.[6]

In 2002, the district stated that it lost $161,050 due to the Richland County government not giving the district the updated tax valuation information from the government of North Dakota in relation to the 2001-2002 school year. The district, with three others, hired a lawyer to settle the dispute.[7]

In June 2004, Barry Loos became the superintendent. In April 2005, the enrollment was around 100. Around that month, due to conflicts between the superintendent and the board of trustees, the latter chose someone to do an arbitration process.[8]
