While visiting the United States, four graduate students from South Africa visited the district to learn more about education and learning in our country. The students visited several buildings and engaged in dialogue with students, mental health specialists, teacher coaches, classroom teachers and building leaders.

Parents and community members are invited to two public hearings hosted by the Mason Public Schools Sex Education Advisory Board. The purpose of these public hearings is to report the progress of the school district Sex Education Advisory Board and to obtain input from the public regarding proposed revisions to the sex education curriculum and instruction for the district. 

Fellow Bulldogs,

In the fall of 2023, Mason Public Schools (MPS) passed a new five-year strategic plan. One of the four primary focuses of the plan is Facilities and Infrastructure improvements. The plan calls for the district to prepare for a bond initiative during the 2025 calendar year. The proposed School Improvement Bond, which will be presented to voters in November if approved by the Board of Education at the June 26 budget hearing, would request the Board NOT raise taxes from the 2025 assessment level.

Community members are invited to an Informational Meeting on Monday, May 12 at 6 pm at Mason City Hall to learn more about the recommended School Improvement Bond which will be presented to the Board of Education in June.
