Southeast KS Education Serv Center

Located at 947 W 47 Highway in Girard, Kansas, the Southeast Kansas Education Service Center—commonly known as Greenbush—functions as an active public educational service agency within the rural remote landscape of the broader Pittsburg area. Unlike traditional public school districts that directly enroll students across standard pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade levels, this agency operates as a specialized regional support center without individual school buildings or direct student membership. In this capacity, Greenbush plays an essential role in bolstering the surrounding educational ecosystem by providing tailored learning programs, professional development, and administrative solutions to partner schools and local communities.

To drive its extensive regional mission, the center maintains a robust professional workforce totaling approximately 311 full-time equivalent staff members. This team includes nearly 192 full-time equivalent teachers and specialized educators, supported by 119 dedicated support staff members who facilitate day-to-day operations and outreach programs. Designed to enhance educational equity and opportunity across rural Kansas, the agency remains a vital resource for educators, families, and researchers alike, accessible through its central Girard office or online at greenbush.org.
