Mount Pleasant School District Seeks Community Input on Future Planning

Mount Pleasant, Iowa — The Mount Pleasant Board of Education is inviting residents to share their input on the future of local schools by completing a community survey, available now through Sunday, April 20, 2025.

The survey is part of the district’s ongoing work with a Master Planning Committee to evaluate facilities and explore long-term solutions. The initiative aims to provide modern learning environments while addressing enrollment shifts and improving efficiency.

According to the Board, the main goals of the planning effort include:

  • Delivering state-of-the-art facilities that support 21st-century education and meet the needs of today’s learners.
  • Adjusting attendance center sizes based on enrollment trends and future projections.
  • Reducing operational, financial, and scheduling inefficiencies caused by maintaining four elementary schools within the Mount Pleasant Community School District (MPCSD).

The survey is anonymous and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Community members can access it online by visiting dgsurveys.com/r/mtpcsdsurvey or by scanning the provided QR code. Those without internet access can obtain a paper copy at the district’s administration office at 1010 E. Washington St., Suite 102, in Mount Pleasant.

District officials emphasize that public feedback will play a key role in shaping future decisions regarding school modernization and resource allocation.

For questions or assistance with the survey, residents are encouraged to contact the district at (319) 385-7750.
