What Southeast Dubois Schools does

Southeast Dubois County School Corporation, doing business as Southeast Dubois Schools, is a public K-12 school corporation chartered by the State of Indiana and headquartered in Ferdinand, Indiana. The corporation serves approximately 1,230 students across four schools in southeastern Dubois County: Pine Ridge Elementary and Ferdinand Elementary (grades K-4), Cedar Crest Intermediate (grades 5-6), and Forest Park Jr./Sr. High School (grades 7-12). It also operates licensed preschool programs for 3- and 4-year-olds rated Level 3 and Level 4 by Indiana's Paths to QUALITY framework. Academic offerings are aligned to Indiana Academic Standards and include Project Lead the Way engineering courses, 20 dual credit classes through partnerships with Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University, 18 career and technical pathways through Patoka Valley Career and Technical Cooperative, the University of Florida Literacy Institute's (UFLI) Foundations Toolbox for K-8 reading instruction, and a multi-criteria High Ability Program.

The district operates a 1:1 Chromebook program and a layered technology stack including Google Workspace for Education, Harmony Student Information System, Clever single sign-on, i-Ready diagnostic assessment, SchoolAI for AI-assisted learning, Classwize classroom management, Follett Destiny library catalog, and ParentSquare for family communication. The website is managed via FinalSite CMS with Google Translate multilingual support.

Revenue is generated primarily through Indiana state per-pupil ADM funding distributed across five distinct funds (Operations, Referendum, Education, Debt Service, Rainy Day), local property taxes, and an operating referendum. Preschool tuition at tiered daily rates ($10-28/day) provides a small supplemental revenue stream with income-based subsidies. Enrollment is driven by geographic catchment within the district, with new student enrollment, school tours, open houses, and community communications used to attract and retain families. The district is governed by a five-member elected school board and led by Superintendent Dr. Jamie Pund.
