Student learning is at the core of everything we do.
ESD 112 Departments
Designed for students, from the youngest learners to adults, ESD 112’s 300+ programs and services promote lifelong learning and success. All of our programs are set up so districts and families can decide whether they want to “opt in,” which keeps us focused on customer service and innovation. District participation in cooperative and fee-for-service programs totaled almost $34 million in 2015—more than doubling in the past nine years.
