Central Elementary Public School District 32 was a school district headquartered in Amidon, North Dakota.

Within Slope County,[1] it operated Amidon Elementary School, a one room schoolhouse.[2] In 2005 it had four students.[3]

History

In 2005 the school community opposed a bill that would promote consolidation into a high school district.[4]

In August 2018, two parents indicated they would not send their children to the school due to disagreements involving a teacher there.[2] The board decided to dissolve the district.[5]

The district was scheduled to dissolve on July 1, 2020.[6] It was to be divided between Bowman County School District No. 1 and New England School District No. 9.[7]

Campus

The school had two main rooms and an art/music/lunch area in the basement. In 2005 it had four computers.[4]

Operations

For the high school level the district did not operate classes but instead paid tuition for students, who each selected an area high school of their choice.[4]

In 2005 the annual cost of the building itself was $101,516 while other expenses, including high school tuition and special needs costs, amounted to $91,741.[4]
