Berrien RESA

Mission: To optimize student outcomes through collaboration and transformation.

Berrien RESA is one of 56 education service agencies in the State of Michigan serving 24,000 students in Berrien County. The schools we serve include 15 public school districts, 20 non-public schools and three charter school academies. RESAs are the only educational entities with 100% access to every public school to ensure the implementation of six core services: early childhood, student services, administrative services, teaching and learning, technology services, and developing partnerships. Berrien RESA is an autonomous, tax-supported public school district governed by Michigan general school laws.

Local school districts, educational organizations, local non-profit organizations, and neighboring businesses are partnering with Berrien Regional Education Service Agency by sharing resources that allow all of us to work more efficiently and effectively. Through such collaborations, dollars are saved, employees are working smarter and students/customers are reaping greater benefits. By incorporating the sharing of services in nearly every aspect of our organization, we too are being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars in that, we are maximizing how we spend revenue while at the same time providing premium services and support to Berrien County children.
