What is a Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA)?

Michigan has 57 ISDs formed in 1962 when the 83 county school districts were reorganized by Public Act 190 as intermediate school districts. We are structured to provide a variety of administrative and instructional services to the local school districts in Newaygo County comprising Fremont, Grant, Hesperia, Newaygo, White Cloud, and Big Jackson.

The Newaygo County RESA provides many services from accounting and auditing of student enrollment numbers for each local district to the oversight of early childhood education, special education, and career-technical programs in the County. We also provide general education services for professional development, curriculum support, economic development and training, and technology services through our NCATS group. We serve as a liaison between the local school districts and the Michigan Department of Education and as your educational service agency “helping Newaygo County Schools help kids.”
