Carlton Independent School District 93, also known as Carlton School District or Carlton Public Schools, is a school district headquartered in Carlton, Minnesota. It operates two schools: South Terrace Elementary School (PK-5) and Carlton High School (6-12).

Contents

Entirely in Carlton County, it serves most of Carlton, much of Big Lake, and a small section of Cloquet. [2]

History

The District #15 district was created on a date prior to February 2, 1913, and merged with Wrenshall at around this time period. Circa 1951 it became District #2 as it merged with the Sawyer district. It received its current formal name circa 1957. [3]

In 2019 the Carlton district and the Wrenshall School District were in talks on the possibility of consolidating. [4] By September 2020 a study was released stating that if Carlton and Wrenshall consolidated, the taxpayer in the former Carlton zone would pay two and one half times the rate that a Wrenshall zone taxpayer would. [5] Some legislation that would have facilitated the merger was, in 2020, not passed by the Minnesota Legislature. [6] Additionally the compositions of the school boards changed. [7]

The two school boards chose not to hold further discussions on consolidation after February 2021. [8] That month Carlton began discussing with Cloquet Public Schools the possibility of an agreement to send high school students to Cloquet. [9] The Carlton district was also working on its own referendum for new facilities. [10]

On June 21, 2021, the Carlton School Board stated that it no longer wished to consolidate with Wrenshall and that it was considering using the South Terrace campus as a single K-12 site and/or consolidating with the Cloquet or Barnum school districts. [11] Carlton, in July 2021, was still negotiating with Cloquet. [12]

Student body

As of 2021 it had about 500 students, with about 33% being eligible for free or reduced price lunches and 16% of students having Native American ancestry. [3]

Athletics

The Carlton and Wrensall school districts have a shared athletics team. By August 2021 the fact that Carlton was now in negotiations with Cloquet over a tuition agreement could impact the Carlton-Wrensall team. [13]
