Company Overview

The mission of CESA 2 is to improve student learning by expanding the capacity of our diverse school districts.

The Cooperative Educational Service Agency 2 (CESA) provides services and support to its 74 member school districts throughout Dane, Green, Jefferson, Kenosha, Racine, Rock and Walworth counties in southern Wisconsin. Working in partnership with school districts, universities and businesses, CESA 2 strives to be a leader of educational leaders. CESA 2 is governed by section 116.01 of Wisconsin State Statutes, which allows it to enter into contracts and act as a liaison between school districts, the Department of Public Instruction and the U.S. Department of Education.

Funding for CESA 2 programs and services comes from state and federal grants, professional development workshop fees and fees paid for specific services.

Company History

For over a century, school districts in Wisconsin were overseen by county superintendents. In 1963, the Wisconsin Legislature and various school groups concluded that the county system should be replaced with regional service agencies. That year, 19 cooperative educational service agencies, or CESAs, were created. They began operating in 1965 and were reorganized into 12 agencies in 1984. Nationwide, there are over 550 educational service agencies (ESAs) in 45 states, according to the Association of Educational Service Agencies.

CESAs are proud to carry on their tradition of service to the 424 school districts in Wisconsin by sharing resources and providing the school districts they serve with the power of up-to-date information and expertise on national, state and local education issues and
best practices. They support educators and students by connecting them with trained professionals, and by equipping educators with valuable programs, professional development and resources including specialized educational professionals.

Benefits

CESA 2 is a governmental subdivision and participates in the Wisconsin Retirement System. Benefits for full-time employees include health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, long-term disability insurance and paid sick days, vacation days and holidays.
