Serving as a regional educational service entity in southern Illinois, the Alexander/Jackson/Pulaski/Perry/Union Regional Office of Education operates from its central location at 101 Spero Drive in Murphysboro, Illinois. Currently open and fully operational, this public, non-charter local education agency oversees five specialized school facilities that serve middle and high school students spanning grades six through twelve. Situated in a rural distant setting within the broader Carbondale metropolitan area, the agency plays a crucial role in delivering centralized administrative oversight, alternative learning environments, and targeted instructional services across a broad multi-county footprint.

To support its regional mission during the 2024–2025 academic year, the agency employs a total staff footprint of 32 full-time equivalent positions. This specialized workforce is anchored by 8 full-time equivalent teachers and 5 instructional aides, who work directly to deliver focused instruction and academic intervention. Complementing the instructional team is a strong infrastructure of 19 full-time equivalent support staff members, reflecting an operational emphasis on comprehensive student services, regional coordination, and administrative support. For researchers, families, and local communities, this distinct organizational model illustrates how regional educational authorities leverage targeted staffing structures to serve secondary students across rural southern Illinois.
