How can the ESD better serve the area’s school districts?

In light of the national uncertainty regarding the continuation of federal funding there may also be a necessity for seeking alternative funding to avoid cuts in the crucial services provided. Also, protecting the vital services of SCESD from partisan agendas that have already shown a propensity to compromise the non-partisan successes of public agencies in favor of promoting their partisan agendas.
