The NWESD Board of Directors
Committed to Fulfilling Our Mission
ESDs are governed by a lay board of directors consisting of seven or nine citizens who are accountable to and elected by the school board members in the region's public school districts. The board members represent geographic director districts based on US Census data.
The ESD boards provide direction to their superintendent who is advised by local school district superintendents. This group generally advises on budgetary, program policy, and staff members.
