Intermediate School Districts (ISDs) are regional educational agencies in the United States that provide support and services to local school districts. They help improve educational opportunities by offering specialized programs, professional development, and resources that individual districts may not be able to afford on their own. ISDs often focus on areas like special education, vocational training, and technology integration. ISDs serve as a bridge between local school districts and state education departments, ensuring that schools comply with regulations and access funding. They also facilitate collaboration among districts, allowing them to share best practices and resources. This structure helps enhance the overall quality of education within the region.
