Puget Sound Educational Service District

The agency is one of nine regional educational organizations that serve school districts and state-approved private schools in Washington. Each ESD functions primarily as support agencies and delivers educational services that can be more efficiently or economically performed regionally.

Our service area includes 35 school districts and more than 200 private schools in King and Pierce counties plus Bainbridge Island. Approximately 38 percent of the state's K-12 public school students, more than 383,000, are served in the area's school districts, which range from large to small, urban to rural.
