ECESC facilitates the East Central Indiana Natural Gas Consortium, through which 51 school districts purchase natural gas collectively, leveraging wholesale buying power and price-risk management strategies to help stabilize costs and reduce budget pressure.
By joining the consortium, districts benefit from volumetric savings and diversified purchasing approaches that help manage market volatility and protect school budgets. If your district is seeing significant increases in energy bills, now is the time to explore cooperative purchasing.

March is Women’s History Month, and we are proud to recognize the outstanding leadership of the five female superintendents currently serving in our member districts. Their vision, dedication, and commitment to students continue to shape strong schools. We celebrate their achievements and the meaningful impact they have every day for students, staff, and communities.
Notably, three of these leaders are the first women to ever serve as superintendents in their district’s history, marking an important milestone and paving the way for future generations of educational leaders!
