Central Massachusetts SPED Collaborative

The Central Massachusetts SPED Collaborative is an open, specialized public service agency operating out of Worcester, Massachusetts. Headquartered at 14 New Bond Street within a midsize city environment, this non-charter regional collaborative is positioned to support students across the broader Worcester metropolitan area. Designed to meet unique academic and developmental needs, the organization provides educational programming spanning from first through twelfth grade, as well as specialized ungraded instruction for students requiring targeted support.

As a dedicated educational service agency rather than a traditional school district, the organization operates without standalone traditional school buildings listed under its central entity. Reflecting its specialized administrative structure, the 2024–2025 NCES dataset records zero full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers or support staff directly attached to the primary district record, a common characteristic for collaboratives whose personnel and resources are deployed through specialized partner programs and service agreements. For families, educators, and researchers looking to learn more about its tailored learning environments and support services, the collaborative can be reached by phone at (508) 538-9100 or online at www.cmasscollaborative.org.
