Our Co-op membership is the single most valuable resource in our special education programming, and a driving force behind the growth of our team members and our students over the past four years.”
Samantha Lincoln, Director of Student Support Services
Being a part of the Co-op has been absolutely invaluable as a network leader. The Co-op has provided a community of support that encompasses a network of school leaders and special education experts that have helped me navigate situations, support and develop my staff, and grow my own knowledge base and expertise."
