Malheur ESD Region 14

Malheur ESD Region 14, headquartered in Vale, Oregon (c/o Malheur ESD, ZIP 97918), serves as an active regional educational service agency designed to enhance learning opportunities across Eastern Oregon. Set within a rural remote geographic context in the broader Ontario, OR-ID metropolitan area, this open and fully operational service agency provides vital administrative, instructional, and specialized programming spanning from pre-kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. Rather than managing standalone public campuses, the agency works collaboratively alongside local school districts to extend specialized resources and regional equity to families and educators throughout the region.

Because Malheur ESD operates as an umbrella service agency rather than a traditional direct-enrollment public district, it reports zero directly enrolled students and zero primary school facilities, focusing instead on shared regional infrastructure. To deliver these wide-ranging services effectively, the agency relies on a substantial workforce totaling approximately 180.2 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. Reflecting its service-oriented mission, the staffing framework is heavily structured around regional care and infrastructure, featuring 160.2 FTE support staff members, 12 FTE instructional aides, and 8 FTE teachers who collectively facilitate specialized interventions, itinerant support, and administrative expertise across the community.
