Others

• Project Lead The Way (PLTW): National nonprofit STEM curriculum provider and Union Local's core curriculum partner.

• Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (ODEW): State-level regulatory and funding authority governing all Ohio public school districts including Union Local. Functions as the regulator/funder rather than a competitor, but represents the primary counterparty shaping the district's operational framework and funding formulas.
