INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT 917

Purposeful. Personalized. Partners.

 Dr. Michael Favor
 Purposeful.  Personalized.  Partners.

I feel honored to be supported by our incredible ISD 917 school board and to work with our amazing staff, member districts, and partner organizations.  In the past few years, we have worked collectively to achieve more together as we center humanity in our work to support special education, alternative education, and career and technical education in our region. 

When you enter any of our multiple sites or programs, you will see how the ISD 917 Core Values (see below) are the drivers of our words and actions.  You will see how committed our staff and School Board are to being purposeful, personalized partners for our students, families, and member districts, and you will see how our students thrive in learning environments designed to be student-ready.  We look to these Core Values to create and tell our story, guide our culture, and create a sense of shared purpose and belonging for each one of us at ISD 917.

Thank you for being a part of our ISD 917 community!
