A portable inflatable planetarium that comes to the school — a week of immersive astronomy and earth-science lessons inside a dome in the gym.

Lena’s own example, 2026-09-02: "if we had all 35 member school districts utilizing the digitarium at the level that Zionsville does, we don’t have enough to go around."

Staffing audits and stay interviews. A staffing audit reviews how a central office or department is structured and resourced; stay interviews ask current staff what would keep them.

Melin, 2026-09-02: "staffing audits and stay interviews have been our two primary areas in that audit." Includes the HR-specific staffing audits done for districts outside the membership.

Independent workplace investigations — a district brings in CIESC rather than investigating a personnel complaint itself, so the finding is arm’s length.

A partnership program connecting schools with local employers so students meet the professions they might enter — funded through an outside partner rather than by district fees.

Flagged limited on Kim’s point, 2026-09-02: a district that cannot yet get a service must not be scored down for not using it.

15 member districts today; the goal is to open it to all members.

Student data privacy support — vendor agreement review, and helping a district meet its obligations over who may hold student data and on what terms.

Delivered as a workshop by Jenna Cooper (Tech and Innovation). Scott, 2026-09-08: it should be recorded on a Monday board, but nothing has been pulled in yet, and the value per district is still open — to be settled alongside the other special-service meetings CIESC runs rather than priced on its own.

The recurring network for district technology directors — shared practice on infrastructure, security, vendors and AI policy.

Under CIESC Services rather than KInL by the cadre rule above (settled 2026-09-09): a cadre is a standing network, not a course, and its value is deliberately unpriced.

Administering grants that flow through CIESC to districts — school safety, iSTEM, Title III and the child-nutrition consortium among them.

Melin called this the hidden category, 2026-09-02. It is directly revenue-generating: the previous $2M federal school-safety grant paid CIESC 10% to manage it, and the state program replacing it is expected to pay a management percentage too.

The Title III consortium — CIESC pools member districts’ federal Title III English-learner funds so small allocations become a shared program none of them could run alone.
