NC RESA Services

Newaygo County Regional Educational Service Agency

Collaborative/Shared/Consolidated Services List

as of January 14, 2010

Newaygo County Regional Educational Service Agency (NC RESA) is one of Michigan’s 57 regional educational service agencies created by law to help local school districts provide high quality education for their students while maximizing district resources. NC RESA does this in a variety of ways including coordinating specialized programs and offering shared services. Many of these collaborative programs and shared services are listed below.
