Successful Learning Educational Services

Educational Service District 112 is one of nine statutory regional service agencies in the state of Washington. Created by the legislature more than 30 years ago, the expressed purpose of ESDs is to assure equal educational opportunities for quality education and lifelong learning for all. In addition to acting as a liaison between local districts and the State Office of the Superintendent, ESD delivers programs mandated by the state. Washington s ESDs are public entities, which operate in a highly entrepreneurial fashion. More than 600 ESD 112 professionals are positioned in 30 public school districts and 23 private schools in Southwest Washington s six counties including Clark, Skamania, Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, Klickitat and Pacific. It also serves the Washington State School for the Blind and the Washington School for the Deaf, and assists with home schooling.
