Located in the high desert outback of south-central Oregon, Lake County Education Service District is one of the smallest of the nineteen Oregon ESDs in terms of student population (approximately 1,085), but the fourth largest in terms of square miles (8,359).  Lake County consists of five school districts with a total of nine schools.  Lake County School District #7, in the town of Lakeview, has three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, and serves approximately 760 students.  Paisley School District #11 (Paisley Public Charter School) has one K-12 school and serves approximately 66 students and a distance learning program serving approximately 130 students.  North Lake School District #14 also has one K-12 school and serves approximately 229 students. Plush School District #18 (grades K-8) serves 7 students and Adel School District #21 (grades K-8) serves 7 students.  Their high school students attend Lakeview High School or Paisley High School beginning with the 9th grade.

 Lake County Education Service District is excited to bring in the 2024/25 school year. Our 20 person team is poised and ready to serve our component district students.  The Lake County Educational Service District assists the students and school districts of Lake County by providing equitable, high quality, cost-effect and locally responsive educational services.  Our mission is to respond to the educational needs of Lakeview, Adel, Plush Paisley and North Lake School Districts.

The core services we provide are in the areas of: special education services, technology support, business services, and administrative support services.  Lake County ESD is continuing its efforts to provide students and staff of Lake County with many other resources including a school psychologist, library consulting, early intervention/early childhood, special education teachers, youth mentoring, integrated grant support, teacher mentoring, behavior management, and counseling.

The hard working, dedicated and professional staff of the Lake County ESD is the key to our success.  Their student focused and service oriented work ethic is what makes Lake County ESD successful in supporting the districts of Lake County.  My goals as Superintendent are to be responsive to the needs of the schools and students of Lake County, provide the highest quality services, and help all of our students be successful.
