History
In 1965, the district held a bond election[clarification needed] for building a facility for elementary school. The voters approved it on a 324-64 basis.[6]
In 2002, the district stated that it lost $161,050 due to the Richland County government not giving the district the updated tax valuation information from the government of North Dakota in relation to the 2001-2002 school year. The district, with three others, hired a lawyer to settle the dispute.[7]
In June 2004, Barry Loos became the superintendent. In April 2005, the enrollment was around 100. Around that month, due to conflicts between the superintendent and the board of trustees, the latter chose someone to do an arbitration process.[8]
In 2022, Fairmount Public School had competed in a competition called Cyber Madness.[9] Their team name was 344 Jarvis AI and they have continue to compete in competitions to this day. They won second place in 2022.[10]
In 2023, superintendent Steve Hall replaced his predecessor Brain Nelson.[11]
