Teams of dedicated employees in four counties come together to make the Northwest Regional Education Service District one the best service providers for children in the state of Oregon. Our shared commitment to a “quality education for all students” motivates us to meet the needs of every young child and school district in the region. The talented team of staff we have and prospective educators looking to join us are what make the Northwest Regional ESD a recognized leader in providing special education, instructional services, and technology support in Clatsop, Columbia, Tillamook, and Washington Counties.

Thank you for choosing to be a part of this committed team that is making a difference in the lives of thousands of children each day.

This handbook is intended to provide important information relating to your employment with NWRESD. It has recently been updated to include additional information and several revisions. As a result, employees are asked to spend some time reviewing the entire handbook and become familiar with its contents. Additional information regarding ESD operations is included in our bargaining agreements, board policies, and administrative regulations – all of which can be found under the NWRESD staff section of our website at www.nwresd.k12.or.us.

If you have any questions about the information in this handbook or other employment-related questions, please contact the Human Resources Department at (503) 614-1445. Ideas and suggestions for improving our organization are always welcomed and encouraged.

Best wishes for a great school year and once again, thank you for your dedicated service to NWRESD.

Sincerely,
Jim Mabbott, Superintendent
Northwest Regional ESD
