Henry-Stark Counties Special Education District was established in 1968 as a joint special education cooperative consisting of 13 member districts in the Illinois Counties of Henry, Stark, and Bureau. The purpose of Henry-Stark Counties Special Education District #801 is to provide student educational opportunities by increasing cooperation and coordination among the member districts. This has been accomplished through the creation of an Executive and Governing Board, which applies, receives and administers funding on behalf of the member districts. A Governing Board composed of one Board of Education member from each school district governs the Entity.
District Superintendents, Coordinators of Special Education, Building Principals, and central office staff play an important part in the operation of this centralized Special Education District. The Henry-Stark Counties Special Education District is a support system to the local districts and provides consultation and coordination on financial matters, compliance with state and federal rules or regulations, and other general special education areas.
The cooperative was reorganized in July of 2005 becoming a single entity providing services for the 9 remaining member districts.
