Region 1 and 2-Northwest Srvc Coop

Located at 114 West 1st Street in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, the Region 1 and 2-Northwest Service Cooperative functions as an active educational service agency within a remote town setting. Rather than operating as a traditional local school district or charter organization, this open regional entity serves as a collaborative administrative hub designed to support surrounding educational communities across northwestern Minnesota. Its strategic location enables it to provide essential regional services, coordination, and administrative assistance to local school systems and community partners.

Because the cooperative operates as a regional support framework rather than a direct provider of classroom instruction, federal educational profiles for the 2024–2025 school year reflect zero operational public schools and no direct grade-level programs spanning from prekindergarten through adult education. Consequently, the organization records zero direct full-time equivalent (FTE) classroom teachers, instructional aides, or school-based support staff in its direct operational reporting. For researchers, educators, and community members looking to learn more about regional programming and educational services, the cooperative remains fully operational and can be reached by phone at (218) 843-1428 or online through its official website at www.nw-service.k12.mn.us.
