Cooperative Ed Serv Agcy 09

Headquartered at 304 Kaphaem Rd in Tomahawk, Wisconsin (ZIP code 54487), Cooperative Educational Service Agency 09 (CESA 9) is an open public service agency situated within a rural remote setting. Unlike traditional school districts, this non-charter organization operates no individual school facilities and offers no direct grade-level instruction spanning pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, ungraded levels, or adult education. Instead, CESA 9 serves a specialized administrative function across its regional footprint, which encompasses Wisconsin's 35th State House District, 12th State Senate District, and Congressional District 5507. Community members, researchers, and partner institutions can learn more about its regional role via its website at www.cesa9.org or by calling (715) 453-2141.

According to the 2024–2025 NCES dataset, the agency's staffing model reflects its primary focus on institutional and technical assistance rather than localized classroom teaching. CESA 9 employs a total workforce of 129.76 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members, heavily centered around non-instructional operations. The team is driven by 121 FTE support staff positions, paired with 8.76 FTE certified teachers and zero instructional aides. This staffing context underscores the agency's commitment to deploying robust organizational support and specialized expertise to serve the broader educational infrastructure of its surrounding remote community.
