North Central Kansas Sp. Ed. Coop. Interlocal

Located at 205 F Street in Phillipsburg, Kansas, the North Central Kansas Special Education Cooperative Interlocal serves as a vital regional educational service agency for surrounding communities. Operating actively within a remote rural setting, the agency functions as a centralized supportive framework rather than running direct stand-alone school buildings or enrolling students directly under its own roster. As a specialized interlocal cooperative, it does not assign traditional grade ranges or report direct student enrollment, but instead collaborates with member districts to extend comprehensive special education services and individualized learning resources to students across the region.

To support its mission across these partnering rural schools during the 2024–2025 academic year, the cooperative relies on a focused team of 19 full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel. This workforce includes 6 FTE teachers and 13 FTE support staff members, demonstrating a strong structural commitment to itinerant instruction, specialized assistance, and administrative guidance tailored to local district needs. For parents, families, and educational researchers evaluating rural specialized services, the interlocal exemplifies how shared administrative structures can effectively pool resources to deliver high-quality support in remote areas.
