Education service district (Oregon)

An education service district (ESD) is a regional education unit in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] ESDs work to provide the various counties' school districts with a wide array of educational programs and services, many of which are too costly or limited in demand for a single location. By coordinating a program or service among multiple districts, Oregon ESDs are able to moderate costs.
