NW REGION INTERDISTRICT COUNCIL

The Northwest Region Interdistrict Council, located at 201 W Minnesota Ave in Newfolden, Minnesota, serves as an active public special education and vocational cooperative supporting the state's northwestern region. Operating as an open, non-charter district situated in a remote rural setting, the council maintains one operational facility structured to accommodate the full educational spectrum from prekindergarten through 12th grade. Positioned within Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District, the council functions as a dedicated regional resource, helping broaden educational access and specialized opportunities for students across neighboring communities.

Reflecting its specialized role as an interdistrict cooperative rather than a traditional neighborhood school, the district’s operational model emphasizes support services and regional coordination. The council operates with a dedicated staff of approximately 9.36 full-time equivalent support personnel who facilitate regional programs and itinerant services, while direct central enrollment and classroom teacher counts reflect its collaborative service structure. For parents, community members, and educational researchers interested in learning more about the council's regional initiatives and service model, detailed information is available on their official website at www.nwric.com or by contacting their administrative office directly at (218) 874-8215.
