PAOLI COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORP

What PAOLI COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORP does

Paoli Community School Corp is a public K-12 school corporation operating under Indiana state education law, serving students in the Paoli area of Orange County, Indiana. It runs two schools, Throop Elementary (grades K-6) and Paoli Jr-Sr High School (grades 7-12), providing the full span of compulsory public education within its assigned attendance boundary.

The district's instructional platform is built on a K-12 1:1 Chromebook program paired with STEM Education Works curriculum, and it integrates a standard public-school software stack including Harmony as its student information system, Google Workspace, i-Ready Diagnostic for adaptive assessment, College Board for college readiness, Junior Great Books, Kendall-Hunt instructional materials, Thrillshare for communications, and eFunds for Schools and EZ School Pay for fee and lunch transactions. Operational services are augmented by an ecosystem of community and vendor partners: SICHC for on-site telehealth, YouthFirst for mental health and substance abuse prevention, SCASEC for special education, Lost River Career Cooperative for Career and Technical Education, Opaa! for food service, Hoosier Uplands for childcare, and INvestED for postsecondary access support.

As a public school corporation, Paoli has no commercial revenue model; it is funded through Indiana state per-pupil tuition support, local property tax revenue, and federal categorical grants. Enrollment is geographically constrained to its state-assigned attendance boundary, and the district's customer base consists of the resident families and students within that catchment, with no out-of-district tuition or commercial service revenue stream.
