Welcome to the Panhandle Area Educational Consortium (PAEC), established in 1967 to support the students and communities of Northwest Florida. As one of the three legislatively created Educational Consortiums in the state, PAEC is proudly member-led and dedicated to addressing the unique needs of our small, rural school districts. We provide a range of high-quality services, strong advocacy, and innovative leadership.

PAEC fosters collaboration among districts, promotes shared services, and develops talent across all levels of our member schools. We currently serve 15 member districts, representing over 48,000 students, along with numerous non-member districts that purchase our services. Our dedicated service area includes the school districts of Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, Wakulla, Walton, and Washington Counties, as well as the FSU Collegiate School (FSU-Bay) and the FAMU Developmental Research School.

Our Mission is to provide a continuum of services that elevate student achievement throughout all consortium school districts
