Park Rapids Area Schools Long-Range Planning Process

Over the course of the 2018 - 2019 school year, the Park Rapids School Board engaged in a strategic planning process to outline the goals for the District over the course of the next five years. This website will provide you with the same information the School Board is using to develop the long-range plan. We encourage you to check back frequently as information will be updated regularly. All comments and feedback are welcome through our Connect page or you can email Superintendent Lance Bagstad or call 218.237.6500. Thank you for your interest in shaping the education of our students for generations to come!
