Plattsmouth Community Schools

What Plattsmouth Community Schools does

Plattsmouth Community Schools is a public K-12 school district (District 13) headquartered in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, serving approximately 1,700 PK-12 students across five campuses: an Early Childhood Center, an Elementary (K-4), a Middle School (5-8), a High School (9-12), and the PLUS Center for alternative programming. Founded in 1857, the district operates Nebraska's first Wall-to-Wall Career Academies model and holds a High School of Business designation from the National Finance Education Council. It is led by Superintendent Dr. Richard E. Hasty and employs roughly 164 staff, maintaining NCA AdvancED Accreditation.

Instructional technology is a visible operating layer: a 1:1 iPad program covers grades 7-12, and the district integrates standard ed-tech platforms including Infinite Campus, ClassLink, Moodle, Google Workspace, and the Code.org CS Principles curriculum (adopted in 2024). A Safe2Help reporting system provides automated routing for student safety concerns, and Policy 6288 governs AI usage in instruction. Student transportation is outsourced to First Student, Inc.

The district's revenue model is structurally that of a public school system rather than a commercial enterprise: funding is derived from local property taxes, Nebraska state equalization aid, and federal grants (including Title and IDEA), supplemented by modest Option Enrollment receipts from non-resident students. There is no tuition-based private revenue stream, no equity ownership, and no commercial product line. Growth and capacity are bounded by the district's statutory attendance area, with enrollment essentially flat over 25 years.
