Marathon County CDEB

Located at 1200 Lakeview Drive in Wausau, Wisconsin, the Marathon County CDEB operates as an active, public educational service agency dedicated to supporting the broader educational landscape of Central Wisconsin. Nestled within a small city setting in the Wausau metropolitan area, this non-charter organization serves a distinct operational purpose compared to traditional school districts. Rather than maintaining direct grade-level classrooms—offering no standard pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade instructional programs or standalone school facilities—the agency acts as a centralized administrative and service hub designed to provide specialized resources across county lines.

To fulfill its specialized mission, the agency maintains a unique staffing structure geared heavily toward specialized care and administrative support rather than conventional classroom instruction. Based on national educational data for the 2024–2025 academic year, the organization employs a total workforce of roughly 45 full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel. This dedicated team consists of 6 FTE certified teachers, just over 1 FTE instructional aide, and a robust support network of over 38 FTE specialized personnel. For families, community members, and educational researchers, Marathon County CDEB represents a pivotal regional asset, ensuring targeted support services and essential administrative infrastructure are readily available throughout the local school ecosystem.
