ESD IT Department

You may or may not have heard about our struggles in specialized student services out in Klickitat County.  Three of our districts are without teachers at the moment and we’ve really been struggling to get our footing.

I must relay that one of the supports that has enabled us to keep “afloat” is excellent support from IT staff in my districts.  In my 34 years of school experience, I have never had the benefit of such a responsive , proficient, or conscientious service such as that I have enjoyed here in 112.  Please relay to your department that these efforts help prop up our meager fleet of field staff during very challenging times!
