The Regional Office of Education is an intermediate service agency between the Illinois State Board of Education and local school districts. The office of the Regional Superintendent coordinates and delivers state and local services and performs regulatory functions as directed by the Illinois School Code. The Regional Superintendent acts as an advocate for education by providing positive leadership and disseminating information for educators, school districts and the public. The Regional Office also oversees districts to ensure specific minimums are met and legal parameters followed in areas such as finance, life safety, certification, supervision and curriculum.
The Four Rivers Special Education District serves all of six
counties and parts of two others. These are Brown, Calhoun,
Cass, Greene, Macoupin, Morgan, Pike and Scott. Within this
approximately 3200 square mile area are nineteen school
districts that hold membership in the Special Education District.
The special education district was formed in 1967. The four
rivers in the title represent rivers that form the natural
boundaries within the Special District. They are the Sangamon,
LaMoine, Illinois and Mississippi. The district is governed by a
Council which includes representatives from each of the school
districts and by a nine member Operating Board that meets
monthly.
