Southington Local School Dist

What Southington Local School Dist does

Southington Local School District is a public K-12 school district serving approximately 500 students (average daily membership) across Southington Township in west central Trumbull County, Ohio. The district operates four wholly-owned schools — Chalker High School (grades 9-12), Southington Middle School (6-8), Southington Elementary (K-5), and Southington Preschool — from a consolidated K-12 campus completed in 2011 on 43 acres of land donated by the Donaldson family, with the original Chalker Building (1907) and adjacent sports complex retained as secondary facilities. The district holds a statutory monopoly over K-12 education for residents within its Ohio-defined service area.

The district's core technology stack is standard K-12 edtech: 1:1 Chromebook deployment, Smart Boards, Google Classroom, Clever single sign-on, and a long tail of third-party instructional platforms (IXL, i-Ready, Lexia Core5/PowerUp, Study Island, StudySync, MobyMax, Freckle, Khan Academy, Reading Eggs, Math Seeds, Big Ideas Math, McGraw-Hill Connected). Administrative technology is anchored by FinalForms for forms management and a custom mobile app (iOS/Android). Differentiated programming is minimal but notable: the Drone Pre-Apprenticeship Program (one of five in Ohio), College Credit Plus, gifted services, special education, Title I, and Career & Technical education via Trumbull CTC.

The revenue model is non-commercial public funding: no tuition is charged to district residents, and the operating budget is sourced from local property taxes, Ohio Department of Education state aid, and federal funding. The district qualified for the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for 2025-26, providing free meals district-wide. Meal pricing for non-CEP years is nominal (Breakfast $1.15; Lunch $2.25-$2.65). Distribution is via direct enrollment of district residents; non-resident students may apply through open enrollment. Governance is by an elected five-member Board of Education under Ohio Department of Education oversight.
