Steering Committee The Willamette ESD is charged to assist school
districts in Marion, Polk, and Yamhill Counties by providing equitable, high
quality, cost-effective and locally responsive educational services at a
regional level. Essentially, the Willamette ESD acts as an agent for state
funds directed to Special Education programs, provides specialized programs and
personnel for school districts on a regional basis. The Willamette ESD Board is
also charged with facilitating coordination and cooperation among educational,
social service, health care and employment training agencies. For example
several districts contract for shared speech therapist services through the
Willamette ESD. Early childhood development and head start pupil evaluation
services are another example of cooperative programs provided by the Willamette
ESD. As a retiring teacher who has actually worked in
classrooms utilizing Willamette ESD services I desire to remain involved in
pubic education. I believe that my service on the Willamette ESD Board is a way
for me to continue my 40-year involvement in education and my commitment to
public service. I bring years of practical educational program analysis, fiscal
scrutiny, and dedicated community involvement to the Board. I bring a fresh
perspective to collaborative planning and cost-effective delivery of
educational services. (This
