The Muscatine Community School District (MCSD) is a public school district located in Muscatine, Iowa, serving almost all of the city and the surrounding rural areas, including the unincorporated areas of Fairport and Montpelier. [2]

Contents

The district consists of one Pre-K school, six elementary (K-5) schools, two middle (6-8) schools, Muscatine High School (9-12) and one alternative program, East Campus. In 2005, Madison Elementary received the National Blue Ribbon School designation, an award which was subsequently given to McKinley Elementary in 2010 and to Washington Elementary in 2011. Muscatine Community is the only district in Iowa to have three blue ribbon schools in this time period.

History

In 1867, Susan Clark, a 13-year-old[1] African American, sued the local school board of Muscatine, Iowa, because she was refused admittance into Grammar School No. 2 under the notion that it was a white school only. Clark, the daughter of local businessman Alexander Clark, said in her lawsuit that the segregation was a violation of Iowa law and the Iowa State Constitution. Iowa trial court and state district court sided with Clark. On appeal, the Iowa Supreme Court upheld the district court's decision.

In July 2019, Jerry Riibe announced his resignation as superintendent. [3] On January 24, 2020, the district announced the hiring of Clint Christopher as superintendent, beginning on July 1, 2020. Christopher was the superintendent of Eastern Carver County School District in Chaska, Minnesota since 2017. Before that, he was the associate superintendent for the district. [4]
