EDUCATIONAL SERVICES DIVISION
On Monday, August 7, 1995, the Educational Service Center (ESC) in Charleston was disbanded and the services were assumed by what was once called the Educational Service Region (ESR) or the Regional Superintendent of Schools’ Office. Now together, these are called the Regional Office of Education (ROE). Regional Superintendent, Julie Wollerman, and her office are responsible for providing many of the educational services previously provided by the ESC in Charleston.

In addition, an annual needs assessment is required.
The Educational Services Division also provides services through the following state and federal grants: McKinney-Vento Homeless Children and Youth Education Grant for Area V and Illinois Empower Services.
