Gibson-Pike-Warrick Special Education Cooperative

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The three counties and five school districts of the GPW Special Education Cooperative. The districts are shaded by high school conferences.

The Gibson-Pike-Warrick Special Education Cooperative was a three-county special education cooperative, based in Oakland City, Indiana, that provided education for handicapped and special needs students in Gibson, Pike, and Warrick Counties in Southwestern Indiana. It operated its own system of buses designed for handicapped children and teenagers independently of the school corporations. Starting in 2011, each school corporation, starting with Warrick County, began assuming the function of the cooperative, essentially ending it.

It was supported by the following school districts:

Gibson County
Office: 114 N. Grove St., Oakland City, Indiana

Pike County
Office: 618 East Main St., Petersburg, Indiana

Warrick County - pulled out of the coop in 2011
Office: 600 East Gum St., Boonville, Indiana
