Profile

=History = toc Educational Service Units (ESUs) were created in 1965 when the Nebraska legislature passed LB 301 to provide supplementary educational services to local school districts, ensuring equitable education opportunities for all of Nebraska's schools and students. The laws pertaining to Nebraska ESUs are outlined in Nebraska Statute 79-1201 to 79-1249. Educational Service Unit #17, located in North-Central Nebraska, serves the school districts located in the counties of Brown, Cherry, Keya Paha, and Rock. Following a merger that took place in the panhandle to combine ESUs #12, #13, and #14, there are currently 17 ESUs.

=Governance = Educational Service Unit #17 is governed by an 8-member Board representing eight voting districts. ESU #17 was redistricted in 2009 (as per LB 603) to provide equitable representation of the population.

Board members are elected for 4-year terms. Elections are conducted every two years, alternating between odd-numbered and even-numbered voting districts. Regular Board Meetings are conducted on the second Tuesday of the month.

 * ESU #17 Board Policies

In addition to a governing Board, an Advisory Council comprised of the five school district superintendents meets four times a year during the school term. The purpose of these meetings is to share national and state information having an educational impact on ESU #17 school districts, learning opportunities for educators, and to receive input regarding school district needs.

=Finance =

Nebraska Educational Service Units are public entities funded by tax levy dollars, very similar to public school districts. The primary source of receipts for ESU #17 is contracted services with local school districts (53.5%), which includes health services, special education, and technology coordination. Receipts from ESUCC, the Nebraska ESU Coordinating Council, include funds to pay salaries and insurance for Statewide Project Staff (see next section, Staff & Services), as well as for rent payment received for Nebraska ESU Cooperative Purchasing office space at the Core Services Center.

Special education is the primary expenditure since that department comprises the majority of the agency's local employees (60%).

 * County data:** Educational Service Unit #17 is a rural and sparsely populated area of Nebraska including the counties of Brown, Cherry, Keya Paha, and Rock. The population is considerably smaller than other ESUs in the state, even though it is geographically proportionate in size. This area experienced a 9.7% population decline from 2000-2010. There are 1.52 persons per square mile compared to the Nebraska average of 23.8 persons per square mile. Valentine, the largest city, has a population of 2,737 according to the 2010 U.S. Census. Valentine is also the site of Mid-Plains Community College - Valentine Extended Campus.

Approximately 89% of the residential population, age 25 and above, has graduated from high school, which is comparable to the state average. Of the same group, approximately 19% have earned Bachelor's degrees, which is considerably lower than the state average of 27%. The median household income is nearly $15,000 below the state average, which coincides with a poverty rate that is 4% above the state average. The ethnicity of the population is predominantly White (94.5%), with American Indians comprising 3.2% of the population.



Valentine Community Schools, at 3,620 square miles, is the largest geographic school district in the state of Nebraska.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">ESUPDO (Educational Service Unit Professional Development Organization) is a statewide ESU organization comprised of five ESU Affiliates, including
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">ESPD - ESU Special Populations Directors
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">IMAT - Instructional Materials Affiliate Team
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">NOC - Network Operations Committee

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The purpose of the ESUPDO is "to effectively and efficiently coordinate membership experiences that maximize ESU leadership and capacity to improve teaching and learning in Nebraska's schools." ESUPDO meets three times annually (September, January, May), and individual Affiliate groups conduct their own Affiliate Business Meetings. ESUPDO acts under the authority of the ESU Coordinating Council (ESUCC), the administrators of the seventeen Educational Service Units of Nebraska.

ESU #17 staff members have been highly involved at the state level as active participants and in leadership roles. Below are the ESU #17 employees who are members of ESUPDO:

=<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Student Performance = Numerous student assessments are administered to measure student ability and growth. Two assessments (NeSA and MAP) comprise the majority of student performance data that is collected, analyzed, and used for decision-making. ACT performance data is also collected.
 * **NeSA** (Nebraska State Accountability), Nebraska's State Tests in reading, mathematics, science, and writing that have been developed through coordination of the Nebraska Department of Education
 * **MAP** (Measures of Academic Progress) an adaptive assessment used for norm-referenced test reporting provided by Northwest Evaluation Association including reading, mathematics, general science, and concepts and processes.
 * **ACT** (American College Testing), a curriculum- and standards-based educational and career planning tool that assesses students' academic readiness for college.

**NDE NeSA Assessments**
These assessments are administered annually during second semester. Reading and Mathematics tests are administered to grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11. Science tests are administered to grades 5, 8, and 11. Writing tests are administered to grades 4, 8, and 11.
 * NeSA Tests** were introduced to the State beginning in 2010 with NeSA-R (Reading), followed by NeSA-M (Mathematics) in 2011, and NeSA-S (Science) in 2012. The existing state writing test was renamed NeSA-W and began the transition to an analytic scoring process in 2012 in addition to resetting the proficiency cut scores.

Additionally, the Nebraska Department of Education has also coordinated the development of Check for Learning (C4L), an elective interim assessment program. ESUs across the state have provided assistance to school districts in quality item development and submission.

**NWEA MAP Assessments**
In the spring of 2010 the Advisory Council (superintendents of the member school districts) unanimously decided to form a MAP Consortium, with ESU #17 serving as the fiscal agent. This allows member schools to administer high quality adaptive norm-referenced assessments at a substantial cost savings. Data generated from assessments reflecting student performance from all school districts is collected, shared, analyzed, and provides a basis for decision-making. Training was scheduled for MAP test administration and data analysis.


 * MAP Assessments** were initially administered in Fall 2010. School districts have the flexibility of selecting of selecting the specific assessments that meet the needs of their respective districts as well as the time frames in which administration will occur (fall, winter, spring). Data that represents all school districts is shared via the agency Profile as well as in the agency newsletter. As of Spring 2012, approximately 180 Nebraska schools/districts representing nearly 30% of Nebraska's students used MAP assessments.

The following chart summarizes the current administration/usage of MAP assessments of ESU #17 member school districts:
