Pecatonica Area School District

What Pecatonica Area School District does

Pecatonica Area School District is a public K-12 school district organized under Wisconsin state law, serving students in southwestern Wisconsin from the communities of Blanchardville and Hollandale under the "Viking Nation" brand identity and the motto "Where strong futures are forged. Together." The district operates two schools: Pecatonica Elementary (grades 4K-5) at 701 School Road in Hollandale, and Pecatonica MS/HS (grades 6-12) in Blanchardville, with the District Office headquartered at 704 Cross Street in Blanchardville. The organization is governed by an elected school board and administered by District Administrator Dr. Danielle Scott, supported by a leadership team that includes a 4K-5 Principal, a 6-12 Principal/Athletic Director, a Curriculum Coordinator, a Director of Special Education, a Food Service Director, and a Communications and Community Relations Director. Headcount is reported at 51-100 employees.

The service portfolio extends across the standard K-12 academic core (curriculum and instruction, academic and career planning, registration, fees and food service, special education), interscholastic athletics for grades 6-12, and three out-of-school-time extensions: a 4-year-old kindergarten (4K) program, an After School Care program, and Camp Pecatonica, a summer camp branded offering. Distribution is conducted through the three physical facilities and supplemented by a district website, dedicated iOS and Android mobile applications, and organic social channels on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube (the "Vikings on Video" / "Viking Voices" platform), with no third-party integrations or proprietary technology stack disclosed.

The revenue model is that of a Wisconsin public school district: a tri-fund mix of state aid, local property tax receipts, and federal education funding, supplemented by modest fee revenue from food service and school fees. There are no commercial customers, no equity or debt funding rounds, no parent company, and no subsidiaries beyond the two operating schools. The firm is not an investment vehicle and is not privately held; it is a government state entity whose outputs are public goods rather than commercial products.
