Madison Co Reg I Spec Educ Coop

The Madison County Region I Special Education Cooperative is an active, non-charter public educational agency located at 3200 Maryville Road in Granite City, Illinois. Situated within a large suburban setting in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area, this specialized organization operates as a regional special education cooperative rather than a traditional school district. As such, the cooperative does not manage standalone school buildings or offer direct grade-level instruction from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade; instead, it serves as an essential administrative and collaborative hub designed to support member school systems and their students across the region.

To carry out its mission during the 2024–2025 school year, the cooperative relies on a focused professional workforce comprising 20 full-time equivalent support staff members tailored toward specialized administrative and educational services. Located within Illinois's 13th Congressional District, 56th State Senate District, and 111th State House District, the entity provides crucial structural and consultative support to local educators and families. For parents, students, and educational researchers, the Madison County Region I Special Education Cooperative represents an indispensable resource that enhances special education access, consistency, and service delivery across the suburban Madison County area.
