Administration & Support Staff

The administration of WACSEP provides a variety of supports for the member districts, as well as for WACSEP staff. The administrators oversee all of the departments and facilitate the coordination of services with the member districts. The administrative staff, both certificated and classified, provide significant technical assistance to the member districts, both programatic and financial. The staff also oversee the requirements of the SELPA Local Plan and collaborate with multiple agencies and the community on behalf of the SELPA and the member districts. 

 

WACSEP also has multiple staff that support the member districts and/or WACSEP staff. The support staff provide expertise in a variety of areas, based on their professional experience. Member districts can reach out to them for technical assistance, consultation, and/or programmatic support.
