Educational Service District 105 supports 25 public school districts and 23 state approved private and tribal schools of South Central Washington in achieving student success. (Download the current ESD 105 Resource Directory containing contact information for those schools.)

As a service agency, our purpose is to meet the expressed needs of local school districts by coordinating and conducting cooperative programs for the needs of approximately 60,000 students in the four counties we serve.

Our cost effective and cooperative approach brings this region nearly $36 in services for every $1 in state funding we receive. Our resource leveraging capabilities make us a unique partner in education.

As one of nine ESDs in the State of Washington, ESD 105 carries out liaison activities between local school districts, the Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education. We are governed by a lay board of directors consisting of seven citizens. We have approximately 100 employees.

We work in a cost-efficient manner to:

	Achieve school and student success
	Create safe and healthy learning environments
	Implement and manage several cooperatives for services of mutual benefit to our districts
	Introduce educators to new research and creative ways of teaching and learning
	Provide administrative, business and financial support services to districts
	Offer innovative professional development and training based on district needs
	Make available new technology
