EDUCATIONAL SERVICE UNIT 04

Headquartered at 2301 Dahlke Ave in Auburn, Nebraska, Educational Service Unit 04 serves as a vital educational service agency dedicated to supporting school communities across the region's rural remote landscape. Maintaining active operational status for the 2024–2025 academic year, the agency oversees two operational educational centers and provides program support spanning the complete primary and secondary educational continuum, from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Designed to strengthen regional learning infrastructure, the unit plays a pivotal role in bridging access to essential academic and administrative programs for families and educators throughout southeastern Nebraska.

Because Educational Service Unit 04 functions primarily as a collaborative regional service hub rather than a traditional local school district, its operational structure emphasizes specialized human resources and institutional support. The agency deploys a dynamic professional team of over 120 full-time equivalent staff members to fulfill its mission. This workforce includes approximately 13.2 full-time equivalent teachers, 10 instructional aides, and a substantial network of over 97 support staff members. This strong concentration of specialized support personnel enables the organization to deliver targeted interventions, professional development, and technical assistance tailored to the unique needs of the rural school systems and students it serves.
