For the seventh year in a row, the Columbiana County ESC applied for and has received the High Performing ESC designation from the Ohio Department of Education. A High Performing ESC has generated total cost savings of at least 5% for its client school districts for primary services secured from the ESC instead of another source. The CCESC far exceeded this 5% benchmark, with a total savings of 44% in 2022.
“Ohio’s educational service centers provide exceptional cost savings to their school districts in addition to all of the other services and support they offer,” says Craig Burford, Executive Director of the Ohio ESC Association (OESCA). “Over the past seven years, Ohio ESCs have averaged 35% savings to districts per year, for a total of almost $497 million in savings statewide for primary services since 2016.”
The Columbiana County ESC is a proud partner in providing services and programs to our member districts in Columbiana County. For more information about the CCESC, visit their website at https://www.ccesc.k12.oh.us/.
