The Corporation's Identifiers, Settled — and One Published Error, Flagged

as of November 2026 · corporation-whole

John Glenn School Corporation is state corporation 7150 and federal district 1809120, headquartered at 101 John Glenn Drive, Walkerton — and one widely copied reference prints its federal district number as "71," which is the county's prefix, not the district's. The federal record, read first-hand, settles the frame: the national education directory's district entry gives the John Glenn School Corporation an NCES District ID of 1809120 and a State District ID of IN-7150, mailing address 101 John Glenn Dr, Walkerton, IN 46574, telephone (574) 586-3129, a regular local school district, status open, four schools, grades pre-kindergarten through twelve, and district totals for 2024–25 of 1,993 students. The four schools are John Glenn High School and Urey Middle School at Walkerton, Walkerton Elementary, and North Liberty Elementary. The state side agrees: state education documents carry "7150 John Glenn School Corporation" with the corporation address at 101 John Glenn Dr, Walkerton 46574-1440, and the executive contact as Mr. Christopher Winchell; a state school-bus inspection report carries the corporation as "Corp ID: 717150" — the county prefix 71 welded to the corporation number 7150, which is how Indiana numbers its corporations. The address spellings print whole, because checkers will meet all three: "101 John Glenn Dr" in the federal record, "101 John Glenn Drive" in the corporation's secondary references, and "101 John Glen Dr" [sic] in the bus-inspection report; and the high school's address, 201 John Glenn Drive, is a different address on the same street and must not be conflated with the corporation office's. The published error flagged at this article's head stands in the high school's reference infobox, which carries an "NCES District ID: 71" — irreconcilable with the federal directory's own record, and explicable as the county prefix mistaken for the district number. The federal figure governs; the 71 prints only as an error to avoid, which is why it prints here at all.
