In the spring of 2022, an innovative project around school-based telehealth began in North Central Washington. Thriving Together North Central Washington (formerly known as North Central Accountable Community of Health or NCACH) allocated funds to launch community-focused virtual care services, with a special emphasis on school-based efforts across Chelan, Douglas, Grant, and Okanogan counties. The driving force behind this initiative was to enhance access to healthcare and services for students, parents, and school employees.

The North Central Education Foundation (NCEF) Board is excited to announce they have partnered with community organizations to present 2023 NCEF Teacher Classroom Grant awards to 193 teachers in Chelan, Douglas, Grant and Okanogan Counties, the most ever in its 14-year history.

North Central Educational Service District (NCESD) has announced the results for the Board of Directors election. Three of the seven board positions were on the ballot that went to all public school board members in the NCESD region.

Over the past few years, the Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) program provided by the North Central Educational Service District (NCESD) has seen significant growth in Grant County. With a commitment to serving families and children with diverse needs, the NCESD ESIT team has grown to better address the demands.

MASH started in 2020 with one team of three part-time staff members. Due to the program’s profound impact on students and community, the demand only increased for its services and commitment to ethical, inclusive, and effective support. Going into the 2023-2024 school year, 60 students state-wide are being served by the program’s three-full time teams of multiple behavior specialists. 

North Central Educational Service District (NCESD) serves and supports 29 public school districts across Chelan, Douglas, Grant, and Okanogan counties. Seven districts are welcoming incoming superintendents for the 2023-24 school year.

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! The team at NCESD is proud to partner with you and to live out our commitment to lead, serve, and support our educational partners in our region and across the state.
