IOA's purpose was to "integrate key methods of teaching and learning with distributed learning technologies to create a complete, interactive, and flexible environment...so that learners of every type on any location may achieve to their personal potential." The Central Indiana Educational Service Center acquired IOA in the fall of 2005 and now offers over 50 high-school Core 40 and AP courses. IOA continues to fulfill the mission of public education by providing an alternative option for all students to achieve academic success. |

In 1976, Indiana Educational Service Centers (ESCs) were authorized by legislative action (code 20-1-11.3) to provide joint services, supplemental programs, and cooperative endeavors for Indiana K-12 schools. Central Indiana Educational Service Center (CIESC) was established in October 1990 with 10 Marion County public schools as members. The governing board comprised of Superintendents, represent each of the membership school districts. Today, CIESC's membership totals 15 school districts in and around Marion County, serving more than 8,500 administrators, and teachers and 124,960 students in 167 school buildings. Through commitment, cooperation and collaboration member school districts continue to expand the resources for central Indiana educators as well as educational opportunities for students. |
