North DuPage Sp Ed Cooperative

Located at 132 East Pine Avenue in Roselle, Illinois, the North DuPage Special Education Cooperative is an active, non-charter public educational cooperative serving the greater Chicago-Naperville-Elgin metropolitan area. Operating within a large suburban setting, the cooperative oversees 19 operational schools and partner programs tailored to deliver regional special education and vocational services.

To fulfill its specialized mission, the district maintains a dedicated and highly trained workforce totaling over 241 full-time equivalent staff members. This robust educational team comprises 64 full-time equivalent teachers and 42 instructional aides who work directly with students, supported by a substantial framework of more than 135 support staff professionals specializing in therapeutic, behavioral, and administrative services. For parents, students, and educational researchers, the North DuPage Special Education Cooperative represents a critical, resource-intensive support network designed to foster inclusive, specialized learning opportunities throughout northeastern Illinois.
