‘Lead, serve and support’

NCESD gets schools the things they need

WENATCHEE — North Central Educational Service District, or ESD 171, supports school districts in Chelan, Douglas, Grant and Okanogan counties. “Our mantra as an ESD is that our responsibility is to lead, serve and support (the districts we serve),” said Michelle Price, Superintendent of ESD 171 and a former Moses Lake School District superintendent. ESD 171’s service area covers 29 school districts, a tribal school, a charter school and some private schools. The district’s website states its coverage area includes 12,600 square miles or approximately 20% of the geographical area of the state.
