Mandaree School District No. 36 is a school district headquartered in Mandaree, North Dakota. It is on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.

It is in McKenzie and Dunn counties.[2][3] It is also affiliated with the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE).[4] It is also known as Mandaree Day School.[5]

History

[edit]

In the 1970s the principal, Robert Schumacher, started a radio station called KRSS.[6]

In 1995 the school had 256 students.[7]

In 2004 the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the parent agency of what became the BIE, investigated the special education program after parents made complaints.[8]

In April 2020, Kirsten Baesler, the state superintendent of education, approved the school having a four-day week instead of a five day.[9]

Culture

[edit]

The homecoming celebration uses Hidatsa traditions and, as of 1995, promotes abstaining from drugs and alcohol.[7]
