Monroe County Community School Corporation

What Monroe County Community School Corporation does

Monroe County Community School Corporation (MCCSC) is a public school corporation governed by an elected Board of School Trustees and incorporated in 1968 from Bloomington Metropolitan Schools and seven surrounding township schools. It is headquartered at 315 E. North Drive, Bloomington, Indiana, and operates 23 schools — 15 elementary, 3 middle, and 5 high schools — serving approximately 10,000 students across Monroe County. Core offerings include traditional K-12 instruction with STEAM, EARTH, International Baccalaureate, and dual language immersion programs, supplemented by Early Learning (3-year-old Preschool and 4-year-old Pre-K) at dedicated early learning centers and all 13 elementary sites, MCCSC Online virtual schooling, Adult Education, and support services including Special Education, English Language Learning, Social and Emotional Learning, transportation, child nutrition, and Extended Day care. The technology stack is composed of third-party platforms — Canvas LMS, Skyward Student Information System, Versatrans for transportation routing, Microsoft Teams for synchronous eLearning, and ParentSquare for family communications — integrated around OneRoster, Clever, and EdFi Data Standard interoperability per the district's RFP requirements.

The business model is that of a publicly funded school corporation: MCCSC does not charge K-12 tuition and prices Early Learning at free or reduced tiers (68% free, 32% half-cost or less in Pre-K) under voter-approved referenda. Revenue is a mix of five streams within the 2026 Budget: state Average Daily Membership tuition support (~48%), local property tax for operations (~21%), debt service on voter-approved bonds (~11%), the 2022 Referendum for teacher/staff wages (~13%), and the 2023 Referendum for Early Learning and student supplies (~6%). MCCSC carries an AA+ long-term bond rating from S&P Global Ratings and operated with 818 certified teachers in 2024-25 at an average salary of $69,770 — roughly 12% above the Indiana statewide average. Go-to-market is direct-to-community via the Family Welcome Center, school tours, intra-district transfers, an ambassador program, and public Board meetings, with ParentSquare and the mccsc.edu website as the primary engagement channels. In response to 7.6% enrollment decline since 2019, the district launched a two-year strategy to achieve financial balance (announced February 2025) under Superintendent Dr. Markay L. Winston, completed a redistricting study with 14 scenarios in November 2024, and engaged Policy Analytics and Baker Tilly for fiscal review.
