Cooperative Ed Serv Agcy 11

Cooperative Educational Service Agency 11 (CESA 11) is an active regional educational service organization headquartered at 225 Ostermann Dr in Turtle Lake, Wisconsin. Situated in a rural, remote setting within the broader Rice Lake area, CESA 11 serves a specialized function in northwestern Wisconsin's public education landscape. Rather than functioning as a conventional school district with traditional grade-level offerings—from prekindergarten through 12th grade—or operating individual standalone school campuses, CESA 11 acts as a service agency designed to provide collaborative programs, specialized resources, and administrative assistance to surrounding public school systems and their communities.

To fulfill its regional mandate, the agency maintains a dedicated workforce heavily focused on programmatic and system-wide assistance. Reflecting its operational model, CESA 11 employs approximately 284 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members, the vast majority of whom—roughly 275 FTEs—serve in support roles, complemented by a core team of around nine full-time equivalent teachers. This distinct staffing structure highlights the agency's role as a service hub that extends essential educational expertise across multiple school districts rather than delivering localized, single-site classroom instruction.
