CESA 2

The Cooperative Educational Service Agency (CESA) 2 is one of twelve educational service agencies in the state of Wisconsin. Nineteen CESAs were formed in 1963 by the state legislature. In 1985, CESAs were reduced to twelve and the regions have continued to serve their local school districts since that time. CESA 2 serves 74 school districts in southern Wisconsin. The districts are very diverse as there are K-8, high school, and K-12 districts. District enrollments vary from 90 – 27,0000. The needs of districts vary greatly as well. Services offered by CESA 2 include literacy, numeracy, Title I, special education, systems coaching/planning, instructional coaching, and more. CESA 2 also offers programs that create efficiencies and savings for districts. Examples include driver’s education and cooperative purchasing. CESA 2 also operates Vocational Opportunities Assistance (VOA) for adults with disabilities and the Jefferson County Head Start.
