About

Educational Service Unit #15 was established according to Nebraska State Statutes 79-201 through 79-1243.  ESU 15 is an intermediate agency providing educational services to southwestern Nebraska schools in Chase, Dundy, Frontier, Hayes, Hitchcock, and Red Willow Counties.  Included in these counties are nine K-12 districts and one K-8 parochial school.  The area served covers approximately 5,041 square miles and includes approximately 3,543 K-12 students and 402 teachers.  ESU 15 provides "core services" as defined in Nebraska statutes.  ESU 15 employees 28 staff members to serve our member schools.

Educational Service Unit #15 is governed by an elected board of 10 members, one representative from each of the established districts.  The Legislature through LB 603 requires Nebraska ESUs to align election districts according to population.  Educational Service Unit #15 is divided into ten election districts of equal or substantially equal population.  The Educational Service Unit #15 board meets monthly at the educational service offices.
