ESUCC Board

Who We Are

Nebraska’s ESU Coordinating Council (ESUCC) is a dynamic organization that works closely with each of Nebraska’s seventeen educational service units (ESU). The ESUCC board is made up of chief administrators from each service unit. Together, the ESUCC provides critical, cost-effective services to Nebraska students, teachers, school leaders and school districts.

What We Do

The ESUCC serves and supports in a variety of ways. First, the ESUCC employs professionals who coordinate statewide projects and programs such as Cooperative Purchasing, PowerSchool Student Information Management and Support, Instructional Materials, Digital Education Courses, Digital Education Training, Grant Management, and an Online Special Education Student Software (SRS). 

Additionally, the ESUCC leverages the expertise of regional ESU staff members to ensure internet access, communications, network security, the infusion of the latest technology into the curriculum, assessment expertise, special education training, leadership and much more. Importantly, the ESUCC also works closely with the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) to develop comprehensive plans, leveraging its resources to address challenges confronting Nebraska schools. Learn more about the Nebraska Educational Service Units on the Annual Reports Page.
