50+ YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

On May 27, 1969, a bill was signed by Governor LeVander that enabled six school districts to form a new intermediate school district for vocational education and personnel, instructional, and administrative services. The district was named Special Intermediate School District 916, and the rest is history.

4,787 TOTAL STUDENTS

The number of students indicated in this report reflects a duplicated headcount, meaning that if a student unenrolls and re-enrolls during the same school year, they are counted twice. We represent the data this way because it more accurately represents the staff time, funding, and resources required to run our programs.

The total student count includes the programs listed below, 256 students for Extended School Year (ESY) and 441 students in our credit recovery programs. The student count for In Home Districts only counts Blind/Visually Impaired Services and Deaf/Hard of Hearing Services.

PROVIDE DIRECT STUDENT SUPPORT

Northeast Metro 916 employs a high staff-to-student ratio in some programs, with many teachers and education assistants, as well as other licensed positions such as social workers, licensed school nurses, and more.

INVESTING IN STAFF

We have continued a partnership with the University of St. Thomas to offer a similar program for paraprofessionals and EAs who wish to pursue a master's degree and an Academic and Behavioral Strategist (ABS) teaching license with a focus on autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

FINANCE

Intermediate districts operate on a fee-for-service basis. Revenue to fund student services is generated by state aid and tuition billing. Most district expenditures consist of salaries and benefits, which is 80% of the total district budget.
