Multnomah ESD

Multnomah Education Service District is an active, public educational service agency situated at 11611 NE Ainsworth Circle in Portland, Oregon. Operating within the large-city setting of the greater Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metropolitan area, this non-charter regional agency serves as a vital backbone for public education across its eight operational school sites and program centers. Designed to support a complete learning continuum, the district offers services covering all grade levels from prekindergarten through 12th grade. Rather than functioning as a conventional neighborhood school system with standard direct enrollment, the agency delivers specialized instruction, health services, and administrative support tailored to component districts and vulnerable student populations across the region.

To fulfill its specialized mandate, the district maintains a substantial workforce totaling more than 1,340 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. Reflecting its mission-driven emphasis on regional support services, special education, and program assistance, the agency's staffing model features approximately 162 FTE teachers and nearly 169 instructional aides, anchored by a large dedicated team of over 1,010 FTE support staff personnel. This extensive support infrastructure enables Multnomah ESD to provide highly tailored interventions, technology management, and specialized programs, making it an essential educational hub for families, educators, and researchers throughout the Multnomah County area.
