Southern Oregon ESD

Southern Oregon ESD is an active, public educational service agency headquartered at 101 N Grape St in the small city setting of Medford, Oregon. Operating as a regional non-charter organization, the agency is structured to support comprehensive learning initiatives spanning the full educational continuum from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade. Situated within the Medford metropolitan area, the district functions as an essential educational backbone for surrounding communities, delivering specialized resources, leadership, and regional coordination to enhance local learning opportunities for students and educators alike.

Because Southern Oregon ESD operates primarily as a regional service hub rather than a traditional local district, it reports no standalone school facilities or direct student enrollment, focusing instead on providing system-wide assistance to local component schools. To carry out this broad mission, the agency maintains a robust professional workforce of over 500 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. This dedicated team includes approximately 46 FTE teachers and 31 FTE instructional aides, anchored by a extensive support staff of nearly 427 FTE professionals who deliver crucial clinical, administrative, and technical services throughout the region.
