Our Mission
The purpose of ASEC is to assist the
local school districts in meeting and serving the student with
special needs.
District Profile
ASEC is a cooperative of 14 school
districts in northwestern Minnesota. The Cooperative was formed
in 1969 by agreement of local schools to provide a full range of
specialized services to children on a district level.
This cooperative is administered by a
Board of Directors composed of the superintendents of the 14
school districts and the director and assistant directors of
special education.
The primary goal of the cooperative is
to provide support services to teachers, administrators, parents
and students with disabilities. A wide variety of support
services are available to districts such as technical
assistance, assessment for special education services,
consultation, counseling, crisis intervention, low incidence
services, early childhood special education programming and
personnel development opportunities. In 2000, the cooperative
established its first level IV transitional school to support
students who are either having difficulty in their present
school or are coming back to their home school from a more
restrictive environment. There are presently two transitional
schools located in cooperative communities.
