MIAMI EAST LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

What MIAMI EAST LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT does

Miami East Local School District is a public K-12 school district incorporated under Ohio Revised Code and headquartered at 3825 North State Route 589 in Casstown, Ohio. It operates four schools — Miami East Elementary (K-4), Miami East Junior High (5-8), Miami East High School (9-12), and a separately administered Miami East Athletics department — serving students in the Casstown and Miami County area. The district is governed by an elected Board of Education and funded through a combination of local property tax revenue, Ohio state foundation aid, and federal education funding. It also generates ancillary fee revenue from student meals (via PaySchools Central), class and athletic fees, and ticket sales through Hometown Ticketing.

The district's core educational product is a comprehensive K-12 curriculum augmented by an unusually strong agricultural education program through the Miami East-MVCTC FFA Chapter, chartered in 1958 and recognized multiple times as a National FFA Model of Innovation (Student Development in 2004, 2005, 2015; Premier Chapter in Growing Leaders in 2018). The high school competes athletically in the Three Rivers Conference across fall, winter, and spring sport seasons, with a 1978 state softball championship and a 2022 State Final 4 appearance as headline achievements. The district supports K-12 counseling services, vocational pathways through Miami Valley Career Technology Center, and community-facing safety and wellness resources (988 Lifeline, Stay Safe Speak Up).

The technology stack is entirely composed of third-party vendor platforms rather than proprietary systems: Apptegy for the district website and mobile apps, ProgressBook for grade tracking and parent portal, PaySchools Central for meal payments, FinalForms for registration, Hometown Ticketing for athletic events, The AET for FFA/SAE record-keeping, and GameChanger for softball statistics. As a government state entity, Miami East Local School District is not a commercial enterprise and does not have investors, funding rounds, or revenue disclosure obligations; key named personnel include Athletic Director Hunter Folkertsma, FFA Advisor Marie Carity, and a tiered counseling team led by Matthew Rutledge for grades 11-12.

• Piqua City School District: Adjacent Miami County city district; same county funding environment and labor market, but a larger urban-style district serving as a regional benchmark rather than a head-to-head competitor.

Others

• Ohio Department of Education and Workforce: State-level regulator and primary funding authority for all Ohio public K-12 districts; relevant as the governing body that defines the operating environment, funding formula, and report-card accountability for Miami East.
• Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC): Partner career-technical education provider that jointly operates the Miami East-MVCTC FFA Chapter; included as an ecosystem partner rather than competitor because it complements rather than competes with Miami East's academic programs.
