Our Work
We offer more than 100 services that help education providers meet the diverse needs of their students. By remaining flexible and responsive, we have successfully served multiple clients with divergent and sometimes competing needs for more than five decades.
As a cooperative, we leverage local, state, and national resources to support schools in providing quality learning opportunities for all students. As a regional leader in innovation and collaborative services in Southeastern Wisconsin, we mobilize the potential of school districts, educators, educational institutions, and business partners to face the challenges of a global economy and the need for world class schools.
