Washington Community Schools

What Washington Community Schools does

Washington Community Schools is a public K-12 school corporation headquartered in Washington, Daviess County, Indiana, operating seven schools spanning Pre-K through grade 12: Washington Primary (PK-1), Washington Intermediate (2-4), Washington Veale Elementary (K-4), Washington Upper Elementary (5-6), Washington Jr. High School (7-8), and Washington High School (9-12). The district employs 251-500 staff under the leadership of Superintendent Kevin Frank and Assistant Superintendent Steve Peterson, and is governed by a seven-member Board of School Trustees. Founded in 1878, the district provides comprehensive K-12 instruction along with specialized programs including Dual Language Immersion (English/Spanish 50/50 model), Project Lead The Way STEM curriculum, a Design & Innovation Studio makerspace, the College & Career Academy with Early College through Vincennes University, 13 AP courses, a Dyslexia screening and intervention program, the Kids at Hope whole-child initiative, and Little Hatch Preschool.

The underlying technology stack is built on standard education-platform tooling rather than proprietary systems. Learning delivery uses Google Classroom and Google Meet for grades 7-12, an Elementary eLearning Portal for K-6, district-issued Chromebooks under a 1:1 device program (expanded to JH 7-8 and grades 4-6, with BYOD at High School), and an IncidentIQ IT helpdesk. Student information, communications, payments, board governance, food service, and facilities functions run on Skyward, ParentSquare, eFunds for Schools, BoardDocs, NutriSlice, FMX, and Doculivery respectively. Curriculum assets include STEM Education Works, VEX and Lego Robotics, First Robotics, 3D printers, SCALE Micro-Electronics, and Project Lead The Way disciplines (Launch K-4, Gateway, Engineering, Biomedical Science, Computer Science). The TRANSFR VR platform supports career exploration.

Revenue is generated through Indiana state per-pupil funding, local property tax revenue, and federal categorical grants (Title I, Title IX, McKinney-Vento). Go-to-market is community-led: enrollment is open to in-boundary students through the district's registration process, and the district uses multi-channel communication (social media, newsletters, ParentSquare, community engagement events) to retain and attract families. Student-facing fees include Chromebook replacement costs (~$200 device, $20 charger, $25 case) and disclosed meal prices. Differentiated programming is supported by core partnerships with Vincennes University, Purdue IN-MaC, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, and STEM Education Works.
