Administrative Services

SOESD administration works cooperatively with local school districts to offer services that provide equitable educational opportunities for all students. In addition to managing operations of the ESD, the Administration Office facilitates Home Schooling, the Superintendents Association, Business Officials meetings, and a variety of services offered to districts through a menu or as a fee-for-service option.

The administration is responsible by policy, and direction of the SOESD Board of Directors to administer the total operation of the ESD.  Administration provides leadership for education programs, fiscal services and all other functions of the district.  The administration office formulates district goals, policies, plans, and programs and prepares and presents facts and explanations necessary to assist the Board in its duty of directing the district.

Administration is involved with the internal operation of the agency including personnel management, teacher licensure, budgeting, and facilities management.  When requested, the superintendent’s office provides information and assistance to component districts on matters of school law, personnel, school finance, and collective bargaining.
