What Scott County School District 1 does

Scott County School District 1 (SCSD1) is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Austin, Indiana, serving students from Kindergarten through 12th grade under the authority of the Indiana Department of Education. The district operates four physical campuses—Austin Elementary School (K-5), Austin Middle School (6-8), Austin High School (9-12), and Austin Learning Center (alternative education)—along with the SCSD1 Virtual program for grades 6-12 and a Special Service Unit for students with disabilities. It also coordinates nursing services, English learner programs, transportation, Title I federal supplemental instruction, and McKinney-Vento services for homeless students.

The district's core instructional technology is the STEP UP 1:1 initiative, under which every kindergarten student receives an iPad and every student in grades 1-12 receives a Chromebook, with teachers equipped with MacBook Airs, projectors, document cameras, and SmartBoards. Instructional delivery is anchored on Google Classroom as the primary Learning Management System, complemented by Renaissance Place/Accelerated Reader for literacy, IXL for adaptive practice, GoGuardian for device monitoring, Harmony and Chalkable InformationNOW for student information, and PIVOT for career exploration. Dual credit articulation with Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University allows high school students to earn transferable college credits.

As a government entity, SCSD1 is funded through a combination of state aid, local property taxes, and federal grants, and does not publish revenue figures. Meal pricing for the 2025-2026 school year includes free student breakfast and lunch, with adult breakfast at $3.25 and adult lunch at $5.00 processed through MyPaymentsPlus. Customer-facing enrollment is conducted through a centralized Online Registration portal. Select ancillary revenue comes from adult meal sales, athletic event ticketing via GoFan, and live athletic streaming through NFHS Network/Pixellot.
