The Panhandle Area Educational Consortium (PAEC) has for 50 years been a regional educational service organization owned by its member school districts and recognized in Florida Statute 1001.451. The key to the organization’s success is that it is run by the superintendents of the school districts PAEC serves. Their mission is to provide a continuum of shared services that elevate student achievement throughout all consortium school districts. CatchOn participates in the PAEC’s annual leadership conference.
