OLIVER-MERCER SPECIAL ED UNIT

Located at 507 1st Ave NW in Hazen, North Dakota (58545), the Oliver-Mercer Special Ed Unit is an active educational service agency set within a remote rural geographic area. Functioning as a regional service provider rather than a traditional public school district, the entity maintains zero operational schools and does not directly offer standard grade-level instruction across the prekindergarten through 12th-grade spectrum, ungraded programs, or adult education. Its specialized operational framework focuses on delivering centralized support and resources to the surrounding academic community.

According to the 2024–2025 NCES dataset, the unit operates with a total workforce of 64 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members structured to meet its service-oriented mission. While the agency reports zero FTE classroom teachers, its staffing model is anchored by 25 FTE instructional aides and 39 FTE support staff members dedicated to regional assistance.
