Educational Service District 105 works to help ensure equity in student learning opportunities by introducing educa-tors to the latest research and creative ways of teaching and learning. We assist schools in establishing safe and healthy learning environments for all students. ESD 105 also offers cost-efficient services that help school districts meet their business, technology, and support needs. Our state’s nine regional ESDs play an important part in helping schools pool resources to maximize their education dollars and build greater efficiency to school district opera-tions through creative program development and partnerships.

Our service region includes all of Kittitas and Yakima counties, and portions of Grant and Klickitat coun-ties. Our regional impact involves 25 public school districts, 23 private and tribal schools, about 3,700 teachers, and about 61,000 students.

Our funding is derived primari-ly from federal and state grants, fee-for-service programs, cooperative fees, and facility rentals. The Washington State

Legislature also provides ESD 105 a core allocation to support services that are mandated by statute, which accounts for just 4% of our agency’s total budget. Our Mission: Educational Service District 105 develops and delivers exceptional, cost-effective service to its clients by anticipating and responding to needs, nurturing strong relation-ships and partnerships, and maximizing staff expertise. Our Vision: Educational Service District 105 cultivates the optimal educational experience for all learners so they have an equal opportunity to succeed in school, community, and fu-ture endeavors.

Our Theory of Action: If we anticipate emerging issues and develop cre-ative, integrated solutions that differentiate products, projects, and services to match the unique contexts of the school districts and communities we serve, then we will be able to provide the leadership for develop-ing quality support and the necessary re-sources for strong student achievement in our region.

2013-2014

ESD 105 programs &

services to schools

Some of the innovations & achievements we shared with schools in2013

• Following January’s start of a School Safety Advisory group involving area school and law enforcement leaders, the agency launched the state’s first ESD School Safety and Security Cooperative in October. The service provides schools with building walkthroughs to review access and safety, assistance on crisis management plans, and network-ing with area crisis response organizations.

• As part of the “Ready, Set, STEM!” joint grant with North Central ESD 171, ESD 105 distributed 40 kits of STEM activ-ity materials in February to families involved with Wapato Head Start. Each kit was packed with 20-30 instructional ac-tivities to assist parents in teaching their young children about life sciences and physical science. Funding for this dual-ESD work came from a grant of $25,000 from Washington STEM.

• The standout work among all of our region’s educators hit America’s spotlight when our 2012-2013 Regional Teacher of the Year, Zillah High School science teacher Jeff Charbon-neau, was introduced as the 2013 National Teacher of the Year during a ceremony at the White House Rose Garden. Jeff began a year of duties touring the country – and other parts of the world – as the representative of America’s teaching profession. Photos provided by ESD 105 of Jeff in his classroom were shown on national TV throughout his introductory interview on the “CBS This Morning” program.

• Collaborative school nursing efforts statewide contributed to the School Nurse Organization of Washington being recog-nized with the Featherstone Reid Award in November.

• Continuing to assist school districts with implementation of the Common Core Standards, ESD 105 devoted its annual Administrators’ Summer Institute in August to the work of CCS leadership, reaching about 100 people from 11 of our school districts.

• From March through December, the Early Learning department helped pilot a Washington Dept. of Early Learn-ing program to provide professional development statewide on the concept of “executive function” in adults and young children to approximately 70 teachers, child care profession-als, and practitioners who support children and families. Executive function is the system that allows the brain to manage multiple streams of information at the same time.

• From March through December, the ESD 105 Early Learning department served as the state’s sole provider of observing and evaluating the trainers who will be deliver-ing a new professional development system for early learning childcare providers throughout Washington. Under a $75,000 grant from the Washington Dept. of Early Learning, ESD 105 evaluated a portion of the DEL-approved trainers throughout the state, and provided feedback on the quality of the training and recommendations on improvements.

• During just the month of September, our Science department provided 27 workshops that trained 295 area educators -- more participants than during the previous 12 months combined!

• Area schools were prepared on first year implementation of the Teacher/Principal Evaluation Project during 2013-2014, thanks to assistance by ESD 105, plus OSPI and the Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession. Most of the region’s school districts have been part of the TPEP trainings that our Educational Services staff started in 2011.

• After nearly a year of development and community input, ESD 105 and the South Central Washington STEM Network completed a business plan in April that provides four goals to support and sustain STEM-related learning and business partnerships in the region. Upcoming work under the plan will address the areas of education, business-education part-nerships, communications/advocacy, and possibilities.

• Our education advocates program enlisted the help of Changing Pointe Church and collected donations from local dentists and hotels to assemble 177 personal hygiene packs for students who may not be living at home or are in transition. The packs were distributed to Ridgeview Group Home, Wapato Middle School, Ohana Crisis Center, Davis High School, and Sunnyside High School.

• Our South Central Regional Information Service Cen-ter expanded with the addition of the Finley School District as our 27th user of the Skyward Student Software system. Our Student Records team provides support on the software to school districts in both the ESD 105 and ESD 123 regions. The Student Records staff joined our fiscal coordinators in combining for more than 75 workshops during the year.

• During the spring, the ESD 105 Language Acquisition Cooperative began rolling out a series of GLAD (Guided Language Acquisition Design) classroom materials to supplement several of the STC science instructional kits that are used throughout the region’s schools. Language ac-quisition materials have been developed for the Catastrophic Events (middle school), Plant Growth & Development (3rd grade), and Ecosystems (5th grade) science units.

• East Valley, Easton, and Thorp joined our Language Acquisition Co-op, bringing the total participating school districts to 13. Our staff also developed the first certified preschool GLAD trainers in eastern Washington during December 2013, increasing our future capacity for delivering preschool GLAD workshops in the region.

• In response to legislative changes during 2013 on how schools will be required to serve the needs of academically gifted students from kindergarten through 12th grade during 2014-2015, ESD 105 offered local educators a series of workshops on “Highly Capable Planning.”

• The ESD 105 Regional High School Knowledge Bowl Cooperative wrapped up its 10th year with West Valley High School garnering the region’s first-ever State title during the 2A tournament that was held March 23. Teams from 14 high schools in Yakima and Kittitas counties participated in Knowledge Bowl during the 2012-2013 season.

How ESD 105 provides cost efficiencies in education to our region’s schools:

Total Budgeted Revenue (2013-2014) — $15,004,206 • Core Allocation (2013-2014) — $509,559

ESD 105 received this funding from the legislature to provide an estimated $1.7 million in administrative services. ESD 105 leveraged

each $1 in state core funding into $25 in preK-12 services. Just 4% of the agency’s funding comes from the state core allocation.

• The Overall Impact ESD 105 leveraged its revenue sources to increase and improve services

to schools – services that would have been greatly reduced in quality and/or quantity without the agency’s involvement.
