CENTRAL REGIONAL SPECIAL ED UNIT

Located in the small city setting of Bismarck, North Dakota, at 1929 North Washington Street (Suite A), the Central Regional Special Education Unit serves as an active educational service agency within the broader Bismarck metropolitan area. Operating as a specialized regional unit rather than a conventional public school district, the organization does not directly house standard grade-level classrooms from prekindergarten through grade 12 or manage traditional school campuses. Instead, this fully operational agency delivers targeted special education infrastructure, resource coordination, and administrative support to assist local member school districts and families across the region.

According to federal educational data for the 2024–2025 school year, the agency operates with a specialized, streamlined staff totaling 4.4 full-time equivalent positions. Rather than employing full-time dedicated classroom teachers, its workforce is structured specifically for supportive and itinerant services, comprising 3.2 support staff members and 1.2 instructional aides. For researchers, educators, and parents seeking to understand regional special education delivery in central North Dakota, the unit provides a crucial collaborative framework, with further details and resources available through their website at www.creand.org or by contacting their Bismarck headquarters directly at (701) 751-4041.
