Education service agencies (ESAs), the middle echelon in the P-12
education structure, serve local school districts and their
children in 42 states. Since these agencies work directly with
local school districts and their students, they are largely
invisible to the general public and, incredibly, not a small number
of legislators. Yet ESAs are responsible for the direct or indirect
expenditure of billions of dollars and are perhaps the main vehicle
for training in-service teachers, administrators, and other staff
members throughout the country. In addition, they provide technical
assistance for a wide range of management areas such as finance,
food service, transportation, purchasing, and technology. This
highly researched, well-referenced book, the first ever to document
the work of service agencies in America, begins with four chapters
that summarize the history and development of service agencies into
current times and catalogue the different financing and governance
structures under which they function. Three chapters are devoted to
descriptions of programs and services offered for students, whether
they have special interests or needs. Another chapter deals with
ESAs as the lynch pin for partnerships with community agencies,
businesses, and other levels of government. The book concludes with
two chapters about the growing insistence on accountability for
ESAs and a final chapter projects three scenarios about the
possible future roles of ESAs in the American education system.
