Scioto County Career Technical Center

What Scioto County Career Technical Center does

Scioto County Career Technical Center (Scioto Tech) is a public joint vocational school district organized under Ohio law, headquartered in Lucasville with additional facilities at a Green campus and the STAR Community Justice Center in Franklin Furnace. The institution has operated since 1973 and delivers both secondary career-technical education to juniors and seniors from 13 partner Scioto County high schools and post-secondary programs to adult learners. Programmatic offerings span more than 16 accredited fields including healthcare (nursing, pharmacy technician, dental assisting, medical assisting), skilled trades (welding, HVAC, industrial maintenance, electrical, construction trades), information technology, business, public safety (basic police academy, OPOTA continuing training), and early childhood education. Programs range from 76 clock hours to 1,350 clock hours with tuition spanning $580 to $16,600 depending on credential level.

The underlying technology stack is conventional and third-party: PioneerRx pharmacy-management simulation for the pharmacy technician program, FinalForms for student enrollment and athletic paperwork, PaySchools for cafeteria payments, and the Scioto Tech Student Portal for course access. There is no proprietary platform or technology product; the institution is content- and accreditation-driven rather than technology-driven. Core intellectual property resides in curriculum and instructor workforce built over four decades, codified in part through a Career Passport competency framework.

Revenue mechanics blend several streams: secondary tuition is effectively funded through the Ohio state foundation and partner-school arrangements; post-secondary tuition is paid by students via federal Title IV aid (Pell Grants, Direct Loans), VA education benefits, Ohio Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) funding, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) subsidies, and out-of-pocket payment. Customized Business Training, Continuing Education (including CEUs for Ohio/Kentucky contractors), TechCred-credentialed short courses (with state employer reimbursement up to $30,000 per round), Testing Center services, and OPOTA Close to Home law-enforcement training constitute commercial and grant-funded revenue lines. Recent strategic actions include conducting Scioto Tech's first-ever online surplus property auction through GovDeals in December 2025 and preparing for a Council on Occupational Education reaffirmation site visit in May 2026.
