Southeast Polk Community School District, (often shortened to SEP, SE Polk) is a public school district located in suburban Des Moines and rural Polk County, Iowa, including the towns of Altoona, Mitchellville, Pleasant Hill, Runnells, and the surrounding rural areas. The district also stretches into small portions of Jasper and Marion Counties.[2]

The district was formed by a consolidation of several districts (most notably Runnells, Altoona, and Mitchellville; several smaller districts also merged) in 1962.

The district is overseen by a seven-member Board of Education.

The superintendent of schools is Dirk Halupnik.
