Fort Dodge Community School District (FDCSD) is a public school district headquartered in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
The district is entirely in Webster County. In addition to Fort Dodge, Badger and Otho are in the district boundaries.[2] It also serves the Coalville census-designated place.[3]
History
Jesse Ulrich became superintendent in 2018 when all members of the FDCSD school board voted to hire him.[4]
In 2018 the district's elementary school boundaries were modified.[5] That year it also placed an enrollment cap in its elementary schools. Butler and Duncombe elementaries however would have eight extra spaces for new students who move into their attendance zones, while Cooper and Feelhaver each have four.[6]
