We have always strived to ensure that the human elements (Hu) are a part of our culture and workplace environment. As an Intermediate Service Center, service is absolutely at the heart of who we are and how we  support students and school districts across our region. When you put people first, everything else follows; relationships, trust, and care. When people feel valued, seen, and heard they bring their best.
